Your online identity sells for exactly $1,170 on the dark web

What is the asking price for your online identity? Now, we finally know.

Harvesting a few of your credit cards, your social security number, your billing address, and even the names of your children now has an exact price tag, almost like an Amazon shopping list. According to a new study by Privacy Central, it’s exactly $1,170 on the dark web.

Like an auction site or Craigslist, the Dark Web is a shopper’s paradise for hackers.

Netflix accounts, an Uber login, and access to your AirBnB credentials come cheap -- $10 each. And, how about your Gmail login? That sells for about a dollar. How about your iTunes account info? That’s exactly $15.38. PayPal account? $247.

All of these logins, credit card numbers, and account details are for sale, but security experts suggest the laundry list of items for sale is only going to grow -- and get more affordable.

The question to ask is -- how do you protect yourself?
