Hi iJoel - nice to have you there

Unfortunately there are many data stealers - but - they all do it for the same reason - money.

The biggest market in the world is .... data market.

email addresses are sold and buy everyday by thousands of companies looking for advertising.
phone numbers - for SMS marketing
your name - for digital customer preferences - eventually tracking the category of products you have interest for.
credit card - there are ways to charge your credit card if they have the numbers and back-side little number.

and it's not all... unfortunately - nowadays - any type of data related to your online activity have a market value - there black market for data is - huge.
