What data was compromised and if any of it is sensitive.
If any of this data was encrypted/hashed and what algorithm was used (i.e. I'd be far less worried about having passwords that are bcrypt hashed exposed compared to ones hashed with SHA1 or stored in plain text.)
Everything. Data breaches/leaks happen all the time. The more these companies have to admit what happened and be shamed and fined the more they will care about security for their customers.
i mean, i don't think anyone has actually considered including the leaked data in the leak announcement. it seems so obvious to just say which fields are leaked that i hadn't even considered that someone might think to include the data itself.
I responded to a comment that said everything. Everything means everything. We should qualify that it shouldn't be everything.
There's literally someone in another comment on this thread saying that they should be able to get the raw data that was leaked from the company on request.
Every little detail. Including access to the raw data that was leaked (that pertains to the individual). The steps taken to correct the action if possible. The source of the attack, including raw access logs if possible.
Basically, let me decide how fucked I am, how it happened, and who now has my data.
Please no. I don't want a copy my passport image included in the announcement about the data leak. Its extremely hard to change my passport, and its better if its not on the official announcement, even if it is being traded on the darknet.
They should say what data fields were leaked, but not re-leak the actual raw data to the world on the clearnet.
I didn’t mean they would publish the information to the internet in an insecure way. But I should, if i CHOOSE, get a copy of the leaked data. You don’t have to ask for it.
Nha they publish metadata describing the leaked data. If you’re a data subject concerned by the incident you then request a copy of yr information which requires proper identification.
