The hackers began advertising some of the stolen data for sale online. They posted 170,000 bar codes that they said were Taylor Swift Eras tour tickets, stolen from Ticketmaster, part of an attempt to sell what they said were customer records. They offered to sell the shopping records of 50 million Neiman Marcus customers for $150,000.

Lots of risk for little rewards.

Depends on where you are, really. In certain places there is almost no risk attacking US companies and in most of those places that is a life changing amount of money, especially if youre just getting started.
