As can be seen from table 2 below, the total number of credit cards sold online has increased over the years, up until the year 2020. Between 2019 and 2020 there was a decline of 24.5%. When we compare these two years, we notice that up until July, the number of credit cards offered for sale each month in 2020 was higher than the numbers that were offered for sale during the same period in 2019, but the second half of 2019 presents high values that make the total numbers higher for 2019. When isolating the months of January to August from 2017 to 2021, we notice there is a decrease of almost 50% between the sale in 2020 and 2021. From this data we can assume that 2021 will not break a new record of credit cards offered for sale in Dark Web markets and perhaps the world of stolen credit cards offered for sale online is going to fade away slowly over the years, while other attacks take over.
