A report released by the Australian Institute of Criminology said on Thursday that the blood of Covid-19 patients is being sold on the Dark Internet network in thousands of dollars for allegedly giving immunity to the killer epidemic.

The report stated that some sellers on the network, which allow the creation of websites and the dissemination of information without revealing the identity of the publisher or its site, are preparing buyers to obtain plasma patients with Corona, which provides immunity from infection in the future.

Researchers from the Australian National University revealed that cybercriminals are taking advantage of the epidemic by selling hundreds of Cofid-19-related products in 20 different markets on what is known as the "dark web".

In addition to the plasma of those infected with the Coronavirus, these markets also sell alleged vaccines, medicines, diagnostic tests and personal protective equipment.

According to the New York-based media group, "Vice", the price per liter of patient plasma has reached about A $ 21,000 (approximately $ 14,000).

Sellers claim that these products were obtained from doctors around the world and are available for delivery to international buyers through a distributor in Sweden.
