 Information that is stolen and then erased from the user’s machine that can be ransomed to the user

 Password lists that can be used for breaching other systems

 Confidential information about work-related matters that may be used to make illegal stock trades based on insider information

 Information about upcoming travel plans that may be used to plan robberies of the victim’s home
