Reported by infosecurity-magazine.com
The digital identities of tens of thousands of Britons are available for sale on the darknet including ‘thousands’ stolen from government databases, senior officials have claimed.
An unnamed “Whitehall security official” told the FT that personal information, including all the bank details a fraudster could need to raid an individual’s account, were available for around $30 on average.
