Interesting Honeypot
This is an interesting exercise to show the value of compromising personal records from the attackers perspective.

"Interesting Honeypot"

I like the idea that they try to understand what would happen.

When you want it, you want it.
Makes sense. When you're in the market for something -- whether it's stolen PII or something else -- you often want it right away.

Agree. 9 minutes is quite impressive.

Is it? How many of them, I wonder, already had an ecommerce portal open in another browser tab at the time?

9 Minutes?
So they know a backdoor that we do not.

Re: 9 Minutes?
No, I don't think so. I think what the piece is trying to communicate is that once they had already accessed the information, they took mere minutes to use the compromised information. The 9-minute figure has nothing to do with the breach itself.

At the same time, this is may be another vulnerability that was exploited and not shared with the vendor and hackers now know it.
