The market for cyber criminal services on the dark web continues to thrive – demand for malware is running at around three times greater than the supply.

Positive Technologies experts analysed over 10,000 hack-for-hire and malware-related postings on dark web markets. The researchers examined the costs of cybercrime services and found that compromising a site and obtaining full control over a web application may cost a mere $150. The most expensive ready-to-use "package" was malware targeting ATMs, with prices starting at $1,500.
