The most expensive wares in Moscow's software markets, the items that some Russians are calling a threat to their personal safety, aren't on public display.
It takes less than 15 minutes to find them, however, at the teeming Gorbushka market, a jumble of kiosks selling DVDs, CD-ROMs and an array of gadgetry in an old factory west of downtown.
One question -- Where can we buy databases of private information? -- and the young man selling rip-off copies of Hollywood movies leaps to his feet. He leads the customers to another vendor, who wears a bull's head on his belt buckle. This second man listens to the request, opens his cellphone, and punches a speed-dial number.
Moments later, a third vendor appears. He is jovial and blunt about his trade.
"What do you need?" he says. "We have everything."
In Moscow these days, among people who deal in stolen information, the category of everything is surprisingly broad.
This Gorbushka vendor offers a hard drive with cash transfer records from Russia's central bank for $1,500 (Canadian).
