We watched our own credentials get sold for $8 on Telegram. Here's what we learned.
We spent 6 months monitoring underground credential markets - not for fun, but because we wanted to understand a threat nobody talks about.
Then it happened. We found our own credentials being sold.
$8. That's what someone's entire digital life is worth on these markets.
What we saw being sold:
- Your entire password collection: $5-20
- Access to your crypto exchange: $50-850
- Your developer GitHub repos: $15-30
- Gaming accounts with years of progress: $10-20
- Social media with followers: $30-150
The part that scared us:
We checked these people on popular breach checkers. Every single one said "safe ✅"
Because breach checkers only track corporate leaks from companies like LinkedIn or Adobe.
But 70% of stolen credentials come from malware silently copying your browser's saved passwords. Sold within 48 hours. Zero public announcement. Zero warning.
You won't know until you're locked out.
That's why we built Traclea.
We track BOTH the breaches AND the malware. Both emails AND usernames. Gaming, crypto, social media, developer tools - 2,000+ platforms.
Real-time alerts the moment your credentials surface anywhere.
