I will not breach anyone's personal privacy... People are sloppy with throwing that crap around and so many people are out to get it that I'd feel like the Devil if I was one of the collectors.

Agree.

Given the magnitude and nature of websites I've compromised, If I was someone with malicious Intent, there's basically no limit on what I could achieve/gain both on a personal level and the website's data. Obviously, I'm not that type of Individual.

This Is the back-end of a leading auto pilot website that I exploited last night. I have full raid on their systems.

I originally had this type of mindset codified for me in the book "Hackers". If there's a password or protection on something, I want in. I don't really care about what's inside, it's the fact that someone is trying to tell me I can't go somewhere or do/look at something. I'm very glad to see the Hacker Ethic alive and well these days. I didn't want someone's information logged on our servers just because they viewed an ad we had running on a very popular app/website that was to be used for botvertising. I don't want their information. If they're protecting it and we get fake telemetry, so be it, but we'd be scooping up all this real data in the nets and then selling it to the highest bidder to do god know's what with.
Homie don't play that. I take great care to safeguard my privacy and information and I could simply not be a part of selling pieces of people's identities who simply don't know better than I do. I wouldn't want my identity stolen, so why should I take someone's?
In certain circles there is always someone looking to fly a little under the radar selling their pedigree info willingly, so it is simply best to rely on these people... If you're in a position to do so.
Again: Kudos on not reaming out the users of that site for everything stored on those servers. With the sewer rats I've met in this game lately, such behavior seems to be

You've hit the nail on the head with this comment:

I could easily build an Identity from the ground up and use It for malicious purposes, but that's totally Immoral and one of the lowest acts of deceit. We can take the utmost of care to protect our privacy, but the question remains, how safe Is your data with a given entity? Very shortly, I will post an Ideal example In the Compromised forum of a huge Telco company that I've been targeting for a number of weeks and successfully compromised around 30 minutes ago. The security was extreme and very Impressive. The array and nature of the data, Is alarming to say the least.

And I'm with you that this information you've obtained has to be told to the world, so that people aren't willing to give up such sensitive information to a faceless corporation that thinks their ITSec is god's gift to the poor layman who should grovel at their feet. Like your profile says, the security is there, but for how long? Given enough time some creative youngin' or hardworking geez is going to get into whatever they want to get into, as long as they aren't stuck to one method of entry and ONLY that method.

Hackers and crackers have to act kind of like Bane; Letting the people know how truly free they aren't by exposing them to the harsh realities of, well... reality. (At least I didn't go with a Joker metaphor?)

Stay hydrated.

Precisely.

It's the faceless corporations that don't do the right thing by their customers, that some hackers tend to target, exploit and expose all data. Unfortunately, It's the Innocent who've simply registered an account who also feel the ramifications of the data breach.

And so they shall be shown exactly why they should not give up any information to a corporation that doesn't give them guarantees on its usage of said information. They will be set free... Through fire! Burn everything to the ground and they'll see the only freedom they really have is to choose who gets what bits of their soul.

Whatever dirty deed done for that reward would be covered up using a financial percentage of that income. Money can bend the law.

They don't like It when their systems are compromised, but when the average consumer/client's details are at risk, they tend to turn a blind eye.

On-topic, If It were exposing data of a particular "entity" (and not personal user Information) who was responsible for neglecting the privacy of It's users, I'd certainly do a lot more than that for 100 million. And believe me, It "can" and "will" be done.

[Auftot]

To me that amount of money is hard to even imagine what I would do with. I think I would probably do anything for it, nearly. I wouldn't do anything that would completely and entirely ruin an individuals life, especially if I knew them.

I think the problem for me would be after getting the money. I remember reading an article about how lottery winners often have their life ruined after winning the lottery and not being financially smart enough. They usually end up bankrupt shortly after. I don't think I would be able to manage my spendings. Indeed 100 million is a huge amount, but it is not impossible to end up with none of that within a very short time. Personally, I'm not sure that I would be able to go from having anything I want to being completely broke.

On the other hand, myslef knowing that I may overcompensate and spend nealry none of it. And knowing myslef I would probably become depressed and/or anixious due to whatever I had done to obtain that money in the first place

Overall, I didn't really answer your questions, but I'm probably not a person suited to have that amount of money without any hard work. Mabey I'm just crazy and overthinking it.

[mothered]

In my view, It's easy enough to say what we would/wouldn't do via a simple reply to this thread.

However, If the cash was In front of us ready for the taking, I believe we'd probably reconsider our Initial thoughts.
