CORRECTION

Posted on July 28, 2020 by Dissent

A few weeks ago, this site published a post about a hack of DataViper.io. In that post, I erroreously reported that Vinny Troia had admitted to selling and trading stolen data, which he justified as part of his undercover work. Later in the post, I also prefaced a statement with “Given that…”

Those statements were incorrect. Troia has never admitted to actually selling or trading data. DataBreaches.net apologizes for that error.

DataBreaches.net has corrected the post and added a statement to it provided by Troia. You can read the corrected version with the update here.
