What's the value of a credit card number? It can quickly be changed and you would be hard pressed to exploit a billion of them at the same time.
What's the value of a psychological profile built from FB data? People say Trump won the election because Cambridge Analytica built a psychological profile of most Americans and targeted them with customized propaganda. Probably an exaggeration, but it's early days. This will only get better. Can you make your psychological profile invalid the same way you can change your credit card number?
- ben_w 9y ago> you would be hard pressed to exploit a billion of them at the same time. Really? A billion automated orders for something, followed by the banking system having a metaphorical heart attack and either cancelling lots of/all cards (breaking normal usage until the card printers can catch up), or few/no cards (and risking further, directly exploitable, fraud)? Sounds like a potent way to successful fight a nation-state from a coffee shop.
