Actually a great side hustle for similarly situated employees who don’t mind fucking over other humans. I wonder how common it is? Big enough where people with these jobs discuss it in a forum on the net somewhere?

There are likely hundreds of employees with access to this information within the company, and thousands of third party employees.

I work as an analyst for a marketing company that fulfills gift/award points/miles for people who have opted into the loyalty programs for all the major airlines, hotel chains, fuel reward affiliates. We have data granular to the minute in a continuous feed.

I can only imagine that there are numerous opportunities for exfiltration along this chain. Personally, I make enough to never consider breaching protocol, but there are a dozen contacts in my sphere that are temps or contractors that deliver the data to us, I could imagine that the DEA offering double or more than their base salary with little danger of discovery would be tempting.

*I think that by becoming an informant you would be dissuaded from public discourse or lose your anonymity, so there’s probably aren’t any serious forums dedicated to the practice.
