NCIX Data Breach

I'd like to know who the competitor was that bought data. For all intents and purposes, they're buying stolen credit card numbers, aren't they? Plus, I want to make sure I'm not buying anything from someone that unethical.

Also, if the ToS is so one sided that it's legal for my data to be sold in a shady deal like this, I'd say it's time for some massive regulatory change regarding data privacy. If not, everyone that bought the "stolen" data needs to be investigated by the RCMP.

This is probably the result of having a diffusion of responsibility. Essentially, a “not my problem” kind of attitude, especially with the company going bankrupt and all.

I wrote my own take on this based on what I observed at their auction:

Has this been reported to the BC privacy commissioner?

Wow, what a Craigslist find!

I wonder if there is any legal entity left for the effected people to sue. Anybody know?

Read the whole thing, but somehow missed the part where Travis Doering calls the FBI and the shady seller gets raided.

“Not Want to Know” might very well mean Russians/Chinese/other state actors obtaining data to get a foothold into hacking NCIX clients.
