A startup named Farnsworth Intelligence is selling access to personal data stolen via infostealer malware, claiming it's legal since it sources the data through a third-party vendor. For as little as $50, customers can search stolen logs containing usernames, passwords, crypto wallet data, browser histories, autofill info, and more — collected from over 50 million infected devices.
While marketed to professionals in fields like cybersecurity and law enforcement, there is no customer vetting, raising concerns about abuse by cyberstalkers or malicious actors. The company adds over 185 million new stolen records monthly, making it a real-time threat to user privacy. Experts stress the need for strong anti-malware practices, safe browsing habits, and password management to guard against infostealer infections.
