Payment card theft puts millions of users at risk. But what if, along with your card details, cybercriminals could also easily get your name, saved credentials, and computer files? A recent study by NordStellar showed that most stolen card details include additional information about the victim, opening the door to a wide range of attacks. What do the thieves do with the stolen details? They advertise them on the dark web, where fraudsters can buy and use them for further attacks. It all happens incredibly fast — often in a matter of hours. Stopping an attack that’s already in full swing can be difficult, so it’s best to focus on prevention. Discover more about the research and how to protect yourself from payment card theft.

What if we told you that someone could log in to your accounts without a password or two-factor authentication without you even knowing? Or that they might have so much data about you that they could impersonate you perfectly — attacking your friends, family, and coworkers in targeted phishing attacks? Even take out a loan, commit fraud, and pretend to be you in every way? It could all come true thanks to cookies — thousands of little files we allow to be stored on our devices. We agree to them without even stopping to think about the consequences. And the consequences are serious — there are 54 billion cookies for sale on the dark web. The cookies store users' personal information, including their name, email address, city, password, sexual orientation, and physical address. Over 5% of all cookies were from Google, 1.3% from YouTube, and over 1% from Microsoft. There are session cookies that would allow an experienced hacker to take over your account in minutes. These cookies being for sale is a huge risk to their owners — the cookies are from core email accounts that can be used to access other login details. Read our full research report to learn how internet users endanger their accounts, money, and private information by simply accepting cookies without thinking.
