Privacy Piracy is a term used in relation to identity theft and/or protection of personal information. Identity theft can be done on a large scale by hacking a corporation to obtain customer credit card numbers and associated personal information. On a smaller scale, attackers would target individuals. Both of these approaches utilizes techniques such as malware or phishing. == Large Scale Data Breaches ==
In a larger data breach the data of millions of consumers can be stolen. In the recent Home Depot security breach 56 million payment cards and 53 million email addresses were stolen. There have been many cases like this. Some targets have been corporations, while others have been Governmental departments on a global scale. Banking institutions have also been affected. Frequently hackers target either debit or credit card information. Recently hackers have also been focusing on records that include personal information, especially records that contain Social Insurance Numbers, names, addresses and birth date, such as medical records. With this type of information it is very easy to steal an identity. Hackers who specialize in identity theft target large storehouses of personal data. After harvesting this information, they may sell it to others to turn a quick profit.
