Data brokers. Also, those bug-bounty fuckers, both the buyers and sellers of exploits. They make the internet a worse place.
Edit: a slight edit on grammar.

Hard agree on the data brokers, but what's bad about bug bounty programs? I'd say it's a good thing you get a reward if you help make a product more secure, and it helps discourage people from selling zero-days to black hats. Or do you mean black hat bug bounty systems? They are already super illegal
