How secure is your data? Or rather, how secure is your client’s information on your systems, to be more precise? Because not only is there a secondary market for your client’s information, there are those who are looking to find methods of laundering money, purchase bulk amounts of anabolic steroids, bricks of unprocessed opium or a laundry list of other illegal miscellanea.
If your client’s personal information is stolen, it may be sold via “The Deep Web”. The Deep Web is a secondary form of the internet accessed through the TOR system. This places your computer under a proxy, and by accessing a list of URL addresses, will allow you to find what internet pirates referred to as “The (New) Silk Road”, the name of which eventually stuck, until their proprietor was placed under custody of the Federal Bureau of Investigation.
Through accessing this site, for a mere $79 USD, after having converted the money into Bitcoin or one of the thousands of “Alt-coins” now on the crypto-currency market, one can gain access to 10,000 emails with a built in macro, that will send key loggers and malware to whomsoever is unfortunate enough to open up the email. That accounts for roughly 5-10% of those who receive the email.
With this key logger now embedded into your software, it will record every entry you make into your computer, waiting for you to use a credit card number or bank account pin, so that those can in turn, be auctioned off on the black market, or used to play three card monte with money gained from illicit means, so that it can then be laundered and reintroduced into circulation without gaining the suspicion of law enforcement.
