How Much Is Your Identity Worth?
Summary: A site called superget.info, operating since July 2010, sells lookups of Social Security numbers, birthdays and other identity data on millions of Americans, charging $1 per credit with an SSN or date-of-birth hit costing 3 credits. Its owner also markets bulk "fullz" packages, claiming more than 330,000 Type A records with 300-400 added daily, while Type B records with mother's maiden name sell for as little as nine cents per identity in orders over 20,000.
What's compelling: The credentials that unlock credit and accounts - full SSN, date of birth, mother's maiden name, bank and routing numbers - trade for pennies, and a two- to three-letter "sourceid" on each record points to bulk sources such as credit bureaus or motor vehicle departments rather than one-off breaches.
