A FEW PRICES ON THE DARK WEB: IN CASE YOU’RE SHOPPING

In 2021 statistics show that the total losses attributed to identity fraud in the U.S. were just north of $24 billion. On the “dark web” identity-related shopping options recently included a G-mail account, lots of them, that had been hacked. You can buy one for $80. We are all taught to do everything possible to hold on to our Social Security numbers. Last month, you could purchase them in bulk for $2.00 each. Isn’t it interesting that no politician seems intent on going after the dark web despite its demonstrable negative impact on personal security and the US economy?
