I'm into cyber security as a hobby....and one thing has always confused me regarding these breaches.
Lots of these things are sold on the dark web and they might release snippet samples to get a buyer but my understanding is that unlike the old days of hacking....they normally don't release the entire stolen content unless they really believe in totally free data, or they have some massive gripe with the company.
Normally only those who paid get access and iirc the guy who got into the 23&me company wanted like a shitload of money for the entire dataset which was massive. I heard the entire data was somewhere between 20 and 50 terabytes but I could have wread an estimate.
- yieldcrv 3y agoso whats confusing? you can trade Fullz on the darkweb or you can gun for the whole dataset wholesale is cheaper than retail the hacking economy distributes risk the same way corporations do, the person making the hack isnt the person using the hack, isnt the person selling the hacked data, isnt the person using the hacked data
- hwbunny 3y agoHow could they exfiltrate that much data without being noticed?
