A complete bundle of credentials would typically include some kind of national identity number, name, date of birth, a driver’s license number, bank account statements, utility bills and sometimes even scans of passports or licenses.

Comparitech researchers also found stolen credit card data being sold individually or in bulk on the dark web. Some credit card listings contained “dumps” of data – typically hundreds, or even thousands of credit card numbers, usually from the same source.
