Darknet hackers are selling crypto accounts for as low as  a pop

Cybercriminals from the darkest parts of the internet are reportedly selling hacked, verified crypto accounts on the darknet for as low as just $30 apiece.

The hacking of accounts at popular crypto exchanges has been a growing problem in the industry.

Recently, a customer of U.S.-based cryptocurrency exchange Coinbase filed a lawsuit against the company following an attack on his account.
