Identity theft is a big problem in the United States. Cyber criminals have been hacking into big data banks to pilfer personal information, including financial data, for many years. Recently, data analyzed by WalletHub was used to determine where identity theft occurs most often, and how much money has been lost to these cyber thieves.

In the past 13 years, there have been nearly 9,400 data breaches, which means more than 1 billion accounts have been compromised. That means there’s a good chance that your information could be floating around the dark web, where personal data is bought and sold.

Even if you’ve never browsed the dark web, it is something that the average person should care about. Increasingly frequent corporate data breaches expose millions of people’s personal information; the dark web is where all of that stolen information goes, and your private data may be being bought and sold for just a few dollars.
