[Hacker]

Consider a brief overview of the" Black Market " of information services offered today in our country.

Section 1
A significant place among illegal services is occupied by the section related to information about mobile and landline subscribers.
- Getting information by phone number, including personal data of the number owner - from $ 60.
- Detailing calls and SMS messages (without text messages) of any mobile subscriber on the "black market" costs about $ 300 per month.
- Detailing already with the ability to view the text of messages costs from $ 1000 to $ 2500 per month.
- The establishment of the IMEI code of a mobile device is offered for $ 700, or the establishment of SIM cards that were used in the phone by an unknown IMEI - from $ 1000.
Each telecom operator has a personal account for its subscriber, which includes the ability to manage services and contains a lot of interesting information. On the black market, you can get a password to your personal account for $ 700.
These services are provided not only in the Russian Federation but also in the CIS countries, the difference is only in the terms of providing information.
The location of the Sim card of a domestic telecom operator outside our country is offered to provide for $ 1100.
Location detection by IMEI - about $ 700. and the so - called "FLASH" - one - time locations - house, street and address on the map - about $ 500.
In addition, you can purchase a mobile phone monitoring service, including "wiretapping", recording conversations, viewing messages and location information, and all this starts from $ 600 per month.

2 section
A stolen or lost mobile phone can become a valuable source of information that can later be used for criminal purposes.
Today, special software and hardware complexes used for forensic research that exist on the market can also be used for illegal purposes.
If you take possession of someone else's mobile phone or laptop, you can force the technique to "remember everything".
Do I need to talk about the danger of consequences of a forgotten phone, leaving it unattended, or putting it into repair?
The service provided on the "Black Market" allows you to show all accounts and passwords ever used on a mobile phone, for only $ 50-150.

Section 3
Access to social media or email accounts is offered with a wide range of prices from $ 10 to $ 1500.
At the same time, the information services market can offer services for sending a fake email starting from $ 70 and accessing a computer at an IP address for $ 2000 remotely.

The black market offers:
- Establishing a subscriber by a known IP address - from $ 200-1000, depending on the provider;
- Getting full registration data about the owner of any site - $ 1300.
- Establishment of data on social media accounts, including full name, date of birth, email address, subscriber phone number, list of IP addresses used for authorization - from $ 800
- Getting the history of messaging (correspondence) of a social network user plus $ 500 for the previous service.
The author tried to give the actual cost of "shadow" services, in order not to create illusions about the incomprehensible financial costs that will be required to obtain the necessary information.
That is how much the secret of correspondence, telephone conversations and other things that are hidden for every person and citizen is worth on the black market.

Section 4
This section includes all sorts of data obtained illegally from various organizations, the so-called "breakthroughs" by representatives of the shadow business.
- Information about the car's license plate number, VIN, and its history (for example, which cars are registered or were registered to the specified person) - $ 50.
- Information on all "cards" of the vehicle, checking the driver's license - $ 50.
- checking a person's registration - $ 70
- checking a person for a wanted list - $ 70.
- checking a person for a criminal record - $ 70.
- receipt of a copy of company No. 1 (filled in when issuing a passport, contains a photo and basic data of a citizen) - $ 210.
- getting information about property - $ 50-300.
- data on border crossing facts for the last 5 years (including air and railway tickets) - $ 500.
- information about the presence of a car in a person (]both current and archive) - from $ 10.
- System "Potok" (tracking addresses of car movement by cameras) from $ 50
This section demonstrates in all its glory the lack of proper control over the information entrusted to various ministries and departments. As well as the fact that no matter how many types of secrecy are established by law, criminal sloppiness on the ground can reduce national interests in the information sphere, outlined in the information security doctrine, to zero.

Section 5
In addition to purely informational services, the "black market" offers an assortment of various special technical devices, the turnover of which is prohibited in some countries. This is not the topic of the article, but you can list some of the presented devices to expand your horizons:
- keychain with a universal display, opens any barriers and gates - from $ 100 to $ 250.
This is what it looks like:

- universal keychain for alarms, captures the signal, opens and closes any car - from $ 2k to $ 5k.
- hidden bug SIM-audio with GPS coordinates-from $ 100.
- hidden HD video camera with transparent glasses - $ 210.
- hidden camera and microphone, made in the form of a light bulb, with the function of transmitting data via Wi-Fi - $ 210.
- the device "keylogger" on the computer - $ 70.
In my opinion, the prices for some devices are very high, because analogs of these devices can be found on the same "Aliexpress" several times cheaper (of course, the quality and functionality in some cases will be lower).
Also on aliexpress, you can buy products for Hacking Wi-Fi, Remote access, carding, hidden cameras and listening devices
