Here's How Google Makes Money From Stolen Credit Cards

The Digital Citizen's Alliance Breach of Trust report, first spotted by Re/code, pointed out that ads for retailers such as Target sometimes run alongside illegal videos claiming to sell stolen credit card numbers and other private data.
In turn, Google makes revenue off these ads that run alongside video scams.

Harvard Business School Professor Ben Edelman estimated that Google has made more than $1 billion from these "illegal activities" on YouTube.

Some of the most popular search terms for illegal information on YouTube include "how to get credit card numbers that work 2014," "buy CC numbers," and "CC info with CVV," the report says.
