Opiria: giving you power over your personal data
In december 2014 the federal trade commission landed on a data broker who sold personal sensitive information about 100 of thousands of consumers to scammers this information contained things like social security, passwords, bank accounts etc. and was used to steal millions of dollars from unsuspecting consumer accounts.
But who are these data brokers?
According to Federal Trade Commission data brokers are companies that collect information about consumer from a wide variety of sources for the purpose of selling such information to their customers for various purposes.
Their customers are mainly financial institutions, political campaniers, insurance companies, retail stores, law enforcement agencies, government, and so many other organisations
So how do this data brokers get their information?
According to wikipedia the main source of their data includes census, change of address records, motor vehicle and drivers record, user contributed materials, social network sites, media, voters registration list, consumer purchase history most wanted list health care authorities web browsing history and so much more
Unfortunately for us the data broker industry has been rising at a rate of 250 billion us dollars per year and the most sad part about this is that these guys steal our information and sell it without even giving us even a single penny.
Looking at the nature of things there is a high probability that such an incident which occurred in this december 2014 has been occuring in may be at the smaller rate or they not yet being caught and who knows it might occur to any one of us and what if that time it’s such a time when one have saved a huge amount of money (maybe yours or borrowed) in order to start a new project which you have Long dreamt about this will be really sad. But don’t worry, good news all hope is not lost some good intelligent guys are there trying to prevent this that group is opiria
