[Abstract] when faced with the theft of credit card account and Twitter password, hackers tend to choose the latter, because profits are more profitable.

According to a recent study showed that stolen Twitter accounts now on the black market price is higher than credit cards .

All in all, this price trend is determined by market supply and demand decisions. United States networking company Juniper Networks and United States think tank the RAND Corporation (RAND Corporation) jointly issued the study shows that recent impressive data intrusions, for example, last December, United States discount retail giant Target a large number of users of stolen credit card data, there has been a lot of ready-made online credit card data. This type of data, the more, the value of the lower, especially when the Bank will normally be taken against stolen credit card PIN or reset.

Under normal circumstances, after the credit card data in the event of a large-scale attack, although most of them no longer have value, but also all flocked to the black market. By contrast, social media accounts are not usually extensively because after an attack on the black market.

According to the report, Twitter account is higher than the price of stolen credit cards on the black market, because the former account information has a higher potential output . In the aftermath of large-scale data after the invasion, had just stolen credit card to sell for a good price, because credit cards are still in usable condition. However, for a while, stolen credit card rates will come down, the reason is that the market is everywhere on this type of information.

A stolen account number on the black market value of social networks, how much money do? It depends on the type, and its price from $ 16 to $ 325 . In a mass of data following the invasion, a stolen credit card data minimum value of $ 0.75.

Though stolen credit cards may not be sold on the black market price, but this hack brings losses to financial institutions is huge, just Target last year as an example, a lot of customers of the company credit card theft losses of as much as $ 200 million on the financial institutions. However, when faced with the theft of credit card account and Twitter password, hackers tend to choose the latter, because profits are more profitable.

震惊，被盗Twitter帐号卖得比信用卡信息贵

[摘要]在面对窃取信用卡帐号和Twitter密码时，黑客往往会选择后者，因为获利更丰厚。

据一份最新研究显示，被盗Twitter帐号现在在黑市上的价格居然高于信用卡。

总而言之，这样的价格趋势是由市场供求关系决定的。美国网络通讯设备公司Juniper Networks和美国智库兰德公司(RAND Corporation)共同发布的这份研究报告表明，近期一些引人瞩目的数据入侵行为，例如去年12月美国折扣零售巨头Target大量用户信用卡数据被盗，使得网上出现了大量现成的信用卡数据。这类数据越多，其价值就越低，尤其当银行一般会针对被盗信用卡采取销号或是重置的行为。

一般情况下，信用卡数据在遭到大规模攻击后，虽然大部分这些信用卡不再具有价值，但也会一股脑儿涌向黑市。相比之下，社交媒体的帐号通常不会因为一次攻击后而大量出现在黑市上。

该报告称，Twitter帐号在黑市的价格之所以高于被盗信用卡，是因为前者的帐号信息具有更高的产出潜力。在经历大规模数据入侵后，刚被盗走的信用卡可以卖到一个好价钱，因为这样的信用卡仍然处于可使用状态。不过，过一阵子后，被盗信用卡的价格就下去了，其原因是市场上到处都是此类信息。

一个被盗社交网络帐号在黑市上值多少钱呢？这要依据类型而定，其价格从16美元到325美元不等。而在一次大规模数据入侵后，一张被盗信用卡的数据最低就值0.75美元。

虽然被盗信用卡在黑市上可能卖不起价钱，但这种黑客行为给金融机构带来的损失却是巨大的，就拿Target去年的事件为例，该公司大量顾客信用卡被盗给金融机构带来的损失高达2亿美元。不过，在面对窃取信用卡帐号和Twitter密码时，黑客往往会选择后者，因为获利更丰厚。
