What is Dark Web?

The dark web is the seedy underbelly of the Internet you know. Inaccessible except with specific software, it’s a thriving ecosystem for everything illegal, and it’s exactly where hackers would hope to easily find buyers for the data stolen from Facebook. The stolen details could be used to facilitate everything from committing identity theft, to credit card fraud, to blackmail, and even to create authentic-looking social media bots.

Being on the dark web, these transaction are solely carried out through Bitcoin or other cryptocurrency, but they’re priced anywhere between Rs 370 to Rs 1,480. If that’s the value of individual account logins, the entire haul of 50 million accounts could net the hackers in crore.

They could also use them to log into any third party app you’ve signed up for with Facebook, like Tinder, Spotify, Instagram.

Whether or not you think you’ve been hacked, now’s the time to change your Facebook password and recent any apps you use it to sign in to.
