Holy Crap in a suitcase . . . . Ibill messed up

**baddog** · 03-09-2006, 01:37 AM

Just a little teaser:

Seventeen million customers of the online payment service iBill have had their personal information released onto the internet, where it's been bought and sold in a black market made up of fraud artists and spammers, security experts say.

The stolen data, examined by Wired News, includes names, phone numbers, addresses, e-mail addresses and internet IP addresses. Other fields in the compromised databases appear to be logins and passwords, credit-card types and purchase amounts, but credit-card numbers are not included.

The breach has broad privacy implications for the victims. Until it was brought low by legal and financial difficulties, iBill was a top credit-card processor for adult entertainment websites -- providing billing services for such outlets as DominaBDSM and Top-Nude.com.

Can we say: "How do we raise some quick cash?"

"Well we do have that database of people that will never do business with us again."

"Hurry, call that Russian SPAM guy you know from that bar in the Castro District. You know the one with the lisp."

"Got it. I am all over this. You work on damage control."

17m customers is a lottttttt. Just assuming a lifetime value of only $50 per customer puts it at 850m in transactions.

I wouldn't assume a lifetime value of that much. But then again I'd also be willing to be the farm on the fact that calling it a breach of security now was the same as calling it tax free cash under the table way back when...

I wonder who bought the list and how much it sold for

Moreover, at 4.5 gigabytes in size, the larger file would have been tough to download unnoticed over iBill's internet connection.

Dow much data fits onto a regular DVD?

Now everybody does, but I mean originally. The first person or group of people it was released to.

They really need to hang it up.

**saltricter** · 03-09-2006, 01:55 PM

my gmail is getting spam now and my house has been getting bombarded with recorded messages, reverse mortgages, stupid stuff.

**Drake** · 03-09-2006, 01:58 PM

So was it only customers info released or webmasters/clients info too? Hmm

an astute observation

**GiveIntoMe** · 03-09-2006, 03:26 PM

theres no money in spamming

hehehe

**Pornwolf** · 03-09-2006, 03:31 PM

I don't think there's too many porn lists that are completely safe. If you think the email address lists are the only thing that gets leaked you would be mistaken.

Pretty funny that this took so long to be released.

Was taking into consideration rebills and the people that might have joined multiple sites or multiple times over the years.

**Booger** · 04-18-2006, 08:59 AM

Fuck Ibill...bump

**Pete-KT** · 04-18-2006, 09:03 AM

HAHA did you read the update

Editor's note: Since publication of this article, iBill has spoken with Wired News. The company now says that the purportedly stolen database did not originate with iBill, and only three of the more than 17 million entries match past iBill customers. Asked to respond, Secure Science says it no longer believes that iBill was the source of the data

**baddog** · 04-18-2006, 02:39 PM

interesting

**seeric** · 04-18-2006, 02:54 PM

Holy "Here comes the Spam Batman"

LOL

**seeric** · 04-18-2006, 02:56 PM

i would not argue if someone told me that it was an employee there that "leaked" haha the DB to make some money that they got F'd over for.

it does happen.

**Pleasurepays** · 04-18-2006, 02:59 PM

at least one of us can read.

edit: make that two of us.
