How data becomes black market gold
A class action filed in Boston federal court on August 14, 2025, against DTiQ Technologies puts a spotlight on one of the darker consequences of a data breach.
Former employees claim their Social Security numbers and bank account details were stolen when hackers gained access to DTiQ’s systems. That kind of information doesn’t just vanish into thin air. It becomes prime material for what cybercriminals call “Fullz”—complete identity kits sold on the black market.
As a business leader, you don’t want your company’s security failures commoditized by this criminal trade. Allowing your data to end up in a Fullz package doesn’t just create liability. It enables identity theft, damages lives, and leaves a permanent stain on your organization’s reputation. And once it happens the first time, you become a target for more.
