Wired Mag: iBill leaked private info of 17 million!

[jIgG]

Records from 1998 to 2003 of 17 million people who used iBill had their information such as names, address, phone numbers, IP addresses, emails, credit card type, usernames, logins, purchases information and amounts purchased leaked on the web and traded by scammers

A security company accidentaly found two files, one with data of 17 million customers, the other with over a 1 million on a website set up by scammers.

And I love this quote from the security company guy:

Thomas speculates that an employee or other insider may have simply walked out of iBill with the transaction records to sell on the data black market.

What happened with the records from there is anyone's guess. The 1 million addresses found by Sunbelt Software were being used for spamming. Sunbelt found the database by tracing malware-infected computers as they connected to the internet to refresh their list of spam targets. The target list turned out to be the iBill database, hosted on a rogue website.

IBill, sticking it to their 'customers', everyday!

I have no idea how they are still in 'business' (if one can call it that); however, I guess the many suckers, like us, are waiting and hoping for what is owed.
Okay, when someone is owed something but in order for them to even have a hope in hell of receiving it, they MUST sign an 'altered' agreement or agree to additional demands (but that does not mean they will receive what is theirs), it is called (uh, what is that word I am thinking of) ... OH YAH ... EXTORTION!

Oh this is just fucking wonderful! Even fewer people will be willing to give out personal information to join porn sites. This is just what I needed to hear today.

I love you, and I bought some toys, for my bed, just to help make things interesting.

I used ibill to pay for russian submitter back in 2001, guess my info including credit card number was one of those leaked :bomb:
I always keep a close eye on my credit card charges, guess I will have to be extra diligent now.

cheers,

Oh Paco! I love you too. I'll be gentle (or not, your choice).

Roped-up and ready for a rough ride, slow and gentle movements while nibbling on one's lobes or quick romps in public --- it's all good (why limit one self)!

God, you are turning me on! Are you just being a straight tease?

Sorry, (after reading your disgust with IBill) I guess I was just trying to put a smile on your face - I do hope I did not overstep or go to far, and if so, I am truly sorry.

My bad - time for a flogging.

The Wired article now contains this note at the beginning:

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.

A new AVN Online Article includes a comment from the FBI as well as ibill management.

It all seems to be a non-story at this point. I find it interesting that Secure Science offered its services to ibill before they gave the info to Wired.
