"Corporate Network Access Selling for Under $1000 on Dark Web"

According to researchers at Kaspersky, specialist hackers are selling access to enterprise networks for under $1000, thanks partly to a cybercrime underground flooded with compromised credentials. The researchers stated that the average cost for access to a large company’s systems sits between $2000 and $4000. However, this can vary significantly depending on the target organization’s revenue, sector, region, and type of access offered. Across the 200 dark web posts the researchers analyzed, 43% offered access for under $1000, with just 17% charging more than $5000.   The researchers noted that the vast majority (75%) of posts were selling various types of RDP access.   According to the researchers, the top three methods of gaining initial access to corporate networks are vulnerability exploitation, phishing, and obtaining legitimate credentials via stealer logs and password mining.
