Criminals are selling the stolen credit and debit card details of 100,000 Britons on the internet in new market said to be “the largest and most brazen of its kind”.

For as little as £1.67 banking details stolen from more than a million people worldwide can be bought from the website on the open internet, rather than on the “dark web”, where much online criminality takes place, it is being claimed.

The website contains private information stolen from a former senior adviser to the Queen as well as from lawyers, bankers, doctors and other professionals.
