Your personal data can sell for hundreds on the dark web

Your personal data — name, IC number, email, and bank details — can be worth far more to criminals than the phone you’re using. On the dark web, stolen 'digital identities' are traded for anywhere between USD100 to USD500 each. Once your data is sold, it can be used for fake loan applications, phishing campaigns, or even identity theft that affects your credit score and financial records.

SaferDaily Tip: Use unique passwords for every major app, and enable two-factor authentication (2FA). Your data is valuable — treat it like cash.
