That’s my point. These accounts are worth a couple of dollars, nobody would spend $50 on a hacked uber or doordash account.

These accounts are only worth anything as long as they’re cheaper and easier to use than stolen credit cards.

The original VICE article said it was $16 and they can take as many accounts as they want. It seems worth it to me.

Yeah, because that $16 plan is totally going to last for long after people start abusing this at scale.
