Is it possible that one day the market for SSNs and other private data will become so saturated that exfiltrating such data becomes unprofitable?
The revenue isn't 6 BTC. It's 6 BTC * however many people are willing to buy at that price. More suppliers would surely drive the price down, but at this point there are probably tens of thousands of people who'd buy if the data was cheaper, so it'll remain profitable for a long time.
- trimbo 5y agoIf there's a large enough market, why doesn't someone buy it and then undercut the original seller by selling it for 3 BTC? Or 1? (Or maybe they do?)
- paulddraper 5y agoTrue. Increased supply offset by increased demand.
