Government Email Accounts Offered on Dark Web: Security Risk Escalates

A recent report by PANews highlights a concerning trend: hackers are openly selling compromised email accounts belonging to government agencies from countries like the U.S., UK, India, Brazil, and Germany on underground forums. These accounts, accessible for as little as $40 each, offer attackers significant opportunities for malicious activities. These compromised emails can be exploited to impersonate legitimate entities, generate fraudulent legal demands, and steal sensitive personal information, posing a major threat to national security and individual privacy.
