alt Hacker NewsI like this metric for service security. Which service is the most expensive to buy verification on? So far the best one I've found is Telegram at 166/$100, and the worst is Discord at 5044/$100.
https://cotsi.org/platforms?platform=ds&view=map I wish they showed a graph of services, but it seems like you can only view a graph of countries per service.
Adding on to this one since it was the only link to the map data. There's some other supplemental data available. The supplemental PDF [1] has a bunch of the vendor names and there's a Google Docs sheet that has the list of vendors and availability per area. [2]
