‘Russian Market’ emerges as a go-to shop for stolen credentials www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/secu…

The “Russian Market” cybercrime marketplace has emerged as one of the most popular platforms for buying and selling credentials stolen by information stealer malware.

Although the marketplace has been active for roughly six years and became relatively popular by 2022, ReliaQuest reports that the Russian Market has recently reached new heights. Part of this surge in popularity is due to the takedown of the Genesis Market, which created a large vacuum in the field.

Although the majority (85%) of credentials sold on the Russian Market are “recycled” from existing sources, it has still won massive cybercrime audiences thanks to its wide selection of items of sale and availability of logs at prices as low as $2.
