Mainly since I do not know what large companies would accept illegal information they could get from you anyway. Advertisers? I am completely lost ;(

Theres two common buyers for data stolen from viruses:

1) cyber criminals – who may be interested in banking details to steal money or getting into your accounts for various reasons

2) victims – extortion is becoming a common tactic for malware, with a lot of viruses stealing your data and then threatening to publish it unless you pay
