How have I not heard of this? What a train wreck. Why steal the data when you can simply buy it legally right from the source.
Perhaps that's why Experia's little breach never made the headlines. They couldn't be framed as a victim as the guy bought all the data legally. It's less than reassuring to ponder, depending on the "how" the data is used, anyone with a shell company, a little diligence and, most importantly, cash could buy this info, too.
