Description
This episode of The Dark Dive takes a listener's question as a jumping off point to talk about the topic of data leaked on the dark web. Guests Luke Donovan and Adam Wilson discuss noteworthy data leaks from over the years - impacting organizations such as 23andMe, Ashley Madison, and Yahoo! - and bring things right up to the present day (June 2024) by looking at the data leaks on BreachForums impacting Ticketmaster and Santander customers. We look at how data such as credit card information, addresses, passwords, usernames, and even biometric information is stolen in the first place, how it is packaged and sold on the dark web, and the implications of highly sensitive data being leaked.
