Cashing in on the Ashley Madison Hack
 

So I checked if one of my seed emails was on the hack on one of those database checkers yesterday, and today I get an email from them:


Trustify

You or someone you know recently used our search tool to see if your email address was compromised in the Ashley Madison leak, and we confirmed that your details were exposed.

This sensitive data can affect your love life, employment, and follow you across the web forever.

There are ways to hide the exposed details, but first you need to see what information can be found across the web. Talk with our experienced investigative consultants to learn how you can find our what incriminating information is available and could ruin your life.

Can you post link to one of those checkers?

So the question remains - just how much does it cost to "talk to one of their investigative consultants"?

I figured last night this was the next step after the email addy confirmation.

Has your data been compromised?

First one is a little more simple (better)... the second one seems like a sales pitch for something else.

Double post and adam beat me to it.

1st one is very slow and doesnt try to sell you anything

I saw on the news where they were charging people to have their account info deleted, but never actually did it!

1) Market the list with other dating sites
2) Build a dating list yourself (double optin)
3) Sell them protection softwares
4) Send them to lawyer's pages, with adsense on it of course LOL

man you have really fucked up nic name. maybe change it to avoid taxes :1orglaugh

And I bet they are serious. :1orglaugh:1orglaugh

I see a number of federal charges in a few company's futures.

They can probably get away with publishing the hacked data through some loop hole or other. But when they start profiting from the hacked data...selling various services to those who look up their addresses, that's likely a whole new ball game.

And the truth is they don't even check against real AM database and just charge fee to suckers. Probably same people who sold fake antiviruses through shady merchant accounts and now hide in Eastern Europe knowing there are warrants for their asses.

Do you mean 12clicks? Oh wait, he is an American shady business person who delivered likely millions of browser hijacks and malware/adware exploits through Standard Internet, his old company. And no, that isn't urban myth, it's a verifiable fact.

Meh, coolwebsearch girl had to pay hefty fine to feds but didn't end up in jail. Antivirus boys have Microsoft bounty on them. Far more serious.

you mean these guys :winkwink: wonder what they up to now?:1orglaugh :winkwink:

Comparing Standard Internet to those guys is comparing apples to apples. One of them just happened to get away with it. But the cost to innocent people and companies worldwide in lost productivity and IT costs was substantial for both scams. And yes Ron (12 clicks) if you are reading this (as I'm sure you will)...that doesn't make you 'a better' or a successful businessman. It just makes you low life scum. If Ponzi schemes were all the rage back then, I have no doubt you would have had your finger in one of those as well.

1) download the dumps
2) ......
3) prison

"There are ways to hide the exposed details," ... lol, serious business

why does society's bottom always imagine their betters had to cheat to succeed?
Oh right, because in their tiny brain, they can't think of a possible way to succeed that doesn't include cheating.

I know the bitterness creeps upon you late at night when you're admiring your one room apartment and dead end life but really son, you're exactly where you're supposed to be. don't be bitter, learn to like it.:1orglaugh

1. Make an AM checker...it doesn't even needs to work
2. Spam the fuck out of it
3. Harvest thousands of live mail adresses from guys checking if they are in the leaks
4. ?????
5. Profit

6. trouble

Nope. Wrong again.

Ps. How many times a day do you search for your own name to see if anyone has mentioned you?

monday morning usually works. Then I get to see all of the losers' posts from the weekends. :1orglaugh

and trust me son, nights and weekends losers like yourself can huh uh all day long. It doesn't change reality. Even when you change user names. :winkwink:

^^^😴^^^^

unemployed?
christ, I gave you too much credit.:1orglaugh
