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.

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

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.

Incorporating a Prevention Mindset into Threat Detection and Response
Threat detection and response systems, by definition, are reactive because they have to wait for damage to be done before finding the attack. With a prevention-mindset, security teams can proactively anticipate the attacker's next move, rather than reacting to specific threats or trying to detect the latest techniques in real-time. The report covers areas enterprises should focus on: What positive response looks like. Improving security hygiene. Combining preventive actions with red team efforts.
