Dark Web Price Index 2021

About Makeover Monday

MakeoverMonday is a social data project: “Each week we post a link to a chart, and its data, and then you rework the chart. Maybe you retell the story more effectively, or find a new story in the data. We’re curious to see the different approaches you all take. Whether it’s a simple bar chart or an elaborate infographic, we encourage everyone of all skills to partake. Together we can have broader conversations about and with data.”

Starting from Jan 08, 2018, I decided to put aside one hour on Monday weekly to create some visualization and find some insights from the data.

The datasets are published each week at: MakeoverMonday Datasets.

This week’s data is around the ‘product’ price in the dark web. Nowaways, with numerours data breaches, many of those data of sold as ‘product’ on the dark web. This article summarised the avg dark web prices by category in 2021.

My Visualization

I used scatter plot to show the price distribution of products within each category, and across different categories.


Please notice that all the visualizations are designed for desktop view, so it is recommended to view them on a desktop device.

Insights

  • Forged physical documents has the highest average prices on the dark web, which makes sense as those are most valuable and not that fake stuff (I guess);
  • The cheapest products are the social media accounts and followers as they are easy to create/fake and also easy to identify.
