The best way I think of breaches is "there are millions of people who got their info breached too, so what's the odds that I'll be compromised anyway?"

might be a ignorant thing to do but ya know lightens the mood.

if taking a stuff could be nationalized you'd be on board with it

i can guarantee though a lot of information is going to be sold through the deep web. if there's a will, there's a way.

This is the route I was thinking. We already know there are "deepweb" credit card exchanges, I really wouldn't doubt at all if there was a similar thing for creditcard-SSN pairs.

The difference between this and a regular breach is how the info is used.

If it's a list of e-mails/users and passwords, then congrats, you're going to become a spambot.
Something like this though, someone has to pick you out specifically, knowing the risk would be worth it. As Trinick said, it's not something that can be automated, compared to your e-mail shipping out a bunch of phishing links.
