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.

"you often want it right away"

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.
