Criminals are trading copies of prized Australian passports on one of the dark web's largest marketplaces for less than the price of two schooners of beer.

Among the items NordVPN found were passports, personal IDs, driving licences, emails, payment card data, mobile phone numbers, online accounts, bank account logins, crypto accounts and other personal data. The dark web is an encrypted network that uses the internet, but requires specific software to access.

The other commodity bought and sold at significant levels is information, he said, which included child abuse material and other forms of illegal pornography."You've got information on fraud, how to commit fraud, Bitcoin hacks, how to counterfeit fiat currencies and how to hack passwords."
