Web sites in their thousands selling on customer data

Over 4,000 so-called legitimate sites worldwide could be selling on subscriber or user data without the knowledge of their users, according to identity theft prevention firm SentryBay.

In an exclusive conversation with V3.co.uk, chief operating officer at the vendor, Marcus Whittington, explained that the figures come from a comprehensive database run by partner organisation, Lucid Intelligence.

The Lucid database offers a unique snapshot into the activity of identity fraudsters by comprising a list of user data which is being bought and sold on the black market.
