Account Market Intelligence
Every verified open-source observation, newest first. Each entry feeds the platform pages, the price index and the research registry automatically — verifying an observation recalculates that platform's score and price percentiles.
Submit evidenceSubmissions are reviewed before publication. Excerpts are sanitized: no seller identities, contact details, invite links, credentials or marketplace locations are stored or shown. Asking prices are not realized prices.

View sourceReporting on a published dark-web price index covering listings captured up to May 2021, which recorded an advertised price of 80 US dollars for a compromised Gmail account — higher than the figures the same index recorded for cloned payment cards or for online banking logins holding at least 100 dollars.

View sourceMarket activity is an external indicator of abuse incentives, not a measurement of fraudulent accounts on the underlying platform. Prices are never inferred — an observation without a published figure is recorded without one. See the methodology for scoring and confidence rules.
