Yes agreed and of course Experian has now starting using the existence of people's data on the dark web as another revenue stream See:

http://securityaffairs.co/wordpress/64043/deep-web/experian-...

From the article:

>"By using the “Free Dark Web Email Scan” a user will receive advertisements for Experian products at the e-mail address that is being scanned. The user agreement includes a clause which states that not only will Experian send you advertisements, but “offers for available credit cards, loan options, financial products or services, or credit-related products or services and other offers to customers.”

It's like a vertically integrated criminal syndicate.
