Usually those kinds of things are traded in bulk in some (hidden) forums. As stolen credit cards, payment accounts etc are used to commit fraud and steal money, they also want quite some money for the datasets. And you won’t get all of the stolen accounts, just some random chunk with an amount of stolen accounts you can afford. So I don’t think it’ll help you in your situation.
And beware if engaging with such people. They already commit fraud and they might as well rip you off, too. Not deliver anything or whatever. Since you’re doing something illegal, too, you can’t do anything about that and some people are bound to exploit that. And don’t pay them money regardless, or you’ll support their business.
And sometimes lists of stolen passwords, accounts also get leaked to the public and they’re available via torrent or something. But that’s rare, the datasets are old, or one group hacked another and it was an one-off thing to damage their business… Also not what’s going to help in your case. If it’s still of value, it usually costs money.
Good luck 😩 I hope you read what I wrote earlier… Don’t get cought by police. The usual copyright infringement we discuss here is one thing. Getting involved with fraud and proper criminals is another thing. I wouldn’t do it if I were you.
Yeah. Just make sure you’re also smarter than them or they’ll outsmart you. You’re moving into their territory and you don’t seem prepared at all. That makes you prey once you do anything without thinking it through.
And don’t keep it to the hackers. Be careful with the police, too. Once you download such things, you’re in posession of the data. And you did it deliberately. So if your contry has a hacking law: You’re liable. And you’re in for fraud, too. That might be more than some lame copyright infringement, but a proper felony.
You can’t really expect to find your account’s stealer unless you have some legal authority. There are all sorts of middlemen from all around the world in acquiring the accounts and selling them on forums. Finding the person who stole your friends" account is like finding the same thief that stole from you in a holiday trip in another country, selling their stolen goods.
Speaking of; you could research where some database leaks are dumped to find out where these deals are happening. Can’t link any bc of instance rules.

Can you list me at least a few of them so I can recover salman accounts

I know but I’m going to be careful with these hackers
