Stolen Uber accounts are worth more than stolen credit cards

Stolen credit cards are great and all, but the real money-makers on the dark web these days are stolen accounts for services like PayPal and Uber. According to Trend Micro, stolen PayPal accounts with a guaranteed balance of $500 are selling for an average of $6.43 at the moment, while stolen Uber accounts sell for an average of $3.78, which is more than what stolen credit cards are selling for. These stolen Uber accounts are causing many users to experience “ghost rides,” where they’re charged for a ride that they never took because someone from across the globe purchased their stolen account and is using it to get rides.
