Last I heard good credit card numbers were going for about $40 each, and good user name/password combinations were $15 ... add a bunch of those up, and voila! $275,000,000!
The ripple effect of stolen user id/passwords can be astounding. I've seen where one (a $15 dollar purchase by Attackers, Inc) user name password was used to control over 200K.
... the report puts the market value of the traded goods, including financial credentials, at around $275M. This total market value is dwarfed by the potential amount of cash that can be extracted by the underground using these accounts.see the full report here -->
