Key Findings

A new shop with exceptionally high numbers of social media accounts for sale, which first began trading under the name fireaccs[.]biz on the dark web forum xss on January 4, 2024, is gaining momentum amongst threat actors.
On the store, X (formerly Twitter) accounts are significantly more numerous and in demand compared to other social media platforms. This is very likely indicative of their favor amongst a wide array of threat actors, given the perceived benefits of operating on X to advertise, brag, or disseminate content to a wider audience than on other platforms.
