Link between data breaches and affiliate fraud
Data breaches seem to be making headlines on a daily basis lately. The recent Equifax and Capital One hacks alone exposed the personal, financial, and contact information of more than 250 million Americans. Thousands of gigabytes of personal data are now exposed to the dark reaches of the internet. So what becomes of stolen data? Sometimes nothing, but in other cases hacked data is sold like a commodity on the dark web. It was recently revealed that one hacker was selling the data of 10 million Evite users on the dark web and had also breached, stolen, and put up for sale the details of over one billion users of online services, including, Canva, 500px, UnderArmor, and ShareThis.
