On October 28th, a data breach broker created a new topic on a hacker forum to sell the stolen users databases for seventeen companies.
In a conversation with BleepingComputers, the seller told us that they were not responsible for hacking into the seventeen companies and is acting as a broker for the databases.
When asked how the hacker gained access to the various sites, the seller stated,"Not sure if he want to disclose."
Stolen databases are typically sold first in private sales, like those listed above, with previous ranging from $500, as seen in the Zoosk data breach,to $100,000 for the wattpad database.
