More......Cybercriminal Advertising: 1.5 Million Stolen Facebook Accounts For Sale .
Researchers at VeriSign's iDefense trolling an underground black market for stolen social networking credentials found one criminal selling a cache of 1.5 million stolen Facebook account credentials.
The seller, who goes by the handle "kirllos," is offering 1,000 Facebook accounts with 10 or less "friends" for $25, and 1,000 accounts with 10 or more "friends" for $45.
Rick Howard, director of cyber intelligence for iDefense, says the social networking booty from this one seller is the largest his firm has seen thus far. "It stood out because they were all in one place," he says.
The seller is likely an Eastern European hacker: "He's straying out of Eastern Europe and moving west a bit. They tend to sell [stolen] social networking credentials from their [region]," such as from VK's social network, which is popular in Russia, Belarus, and the Ukraine, he says.
