Corona-sponsored: Hackers steal emails from private airline accounts and turns out to be worth a lot of money • "The New Bitcoin"

At Parameter X, an Israeli cyber technology company has spotted suspicious activity in recent days at major tourism and aviation sites. Since tourism and aviation are almost non-existent at this time and regular activity is also plummeting at those sites, there is concern that hackers are robbing and emptying customer accounts and frequent travelers' accounts.

Some of the hypotheses that there are activities of this kind at such a time are that less people today monitor their frequent passenger accounts and therefore it is easier to operate in this arena. What is interesting is that miles (constant commuter points) have recently become a substitute for crypto currencies (Bitcoin, etc.) and are a kind of trading currency anonymously without the possibility of tracing in Darknet, where mostly illegal trading is done under the authorities.

At present, there are quite a few Israelis with frequent airline accounts of various airlines and credit cards that allow them to accumulate constant passenger points that ultimately qualify for, inter alia, free flights, upgrades, restaurant meals and various and varied commercial needs.

At the same time, there are also quite a few companies that allow you to sell your emails and receive money for them. In the opposite way, most airlines and frequent flyer clubs allow their customers to purchase e-mails in cash if they lack to purchase a particular product that is priced higher than the number of e-mails available to them.
