JAKARTA - The Kaspersky Digital Footprint Intelligence (DFI) team has reviewed and analyzed long-term or full-time job advertisements and resumes posted on 155 dark web forums ranging from January 2020 to June 2022.

According to DFI service data, there were around 200,000 ads related to work installed on the dark web during that period. As a result, 41 percent of ads were posted in 2020, peaked in March, as there may have been a decline in revenue due to the pandemic.

Kaspersky experts also analyze IT work and choose 160 examples of jobs that explicitly mention salaries, although dark web employers usually state a rough nominal.

The average income rate offered to IT professionals varies between US$1,300 (Rp20.2 million) and US$400 (Rp62.3 million) per month. The highest average revenue of US$4,000 (Rp62.3 million) can be found in advertising for reverse engineering experts.

For the highest monthly earnings, Kaspersky experts saw it in an ad that included work for developers, which ranged from US$20,000 or Rp311.4 million. While the lowest paid paid was only about US$200 (Rp3.1 million).

Several dark web job advertisements also include bonuses and commissions from successful projects, such as ransom extortion from compromised organizations.
