Methodology: The data was compiled in partnership with independent researchers specializing in cybersecurity incident research. The researchers used data gathered from Telegram channels where hackers advertise what stolen information is available for sale. This led to a dataset of information about over 54 billion cookies. Researchers analyzed whether the cookies were active or inactive, which malware was used to steal the cookies, which country they were from, as well as what data they contained concerning the company that made the cookie, the user’s OS, and keyword categories assigned to users. NordVPN did not buy stolen cookies, and did not access the contents of the cookies and only examined what types of data was contained within them.
