Stolen Data From Massive United States Federal Hack Is Worth $140 Million On Dark Net

Link to article: http://www.techworm.net/2015/06/stolen-data-from-massive-united-states-federal-hack-is-worth-140-million-on-dark-net.html

The report says that among the Dark Net marketplaces which are listing the OPM hacked data are Agora, Alpha Bay and Nucleus.

Vocativ says that some sellers on the Dark Net were offering the sets in bundles of several thousand, at prices as low as 50 cents a set while others were offering a single set of personal information for $10 apiece.

A typical data set includes a person's Social Security number, address, phone numbers, gender, date of birth, race, marital status and ethnicity which is enough to steal someone's financial identity.

Good luck.

Is the media willfully gullible or just stupid? Just because a vendor says they are selling something doesn't mean it actually exists and isn't a scam.

I bet that the data being sold is not even close to what it's advertised for.
