fartsparkles , in Live Nation took 11 days to confirm the massive Ticketmaster data breach

“…the incident has not had, and we do not believe it is reasonably likely to have, a material impact on our overall business operations or on our financial condition or results of operations.”

Oh thank goodness, Ticketmaster. I was worried you losing all our usernames, passwords, names, addresses, credit card details, and billing addresses would hurt you financially. /s

Deebster , in Spyware maker pcTattletale says it's 'out of business' and shuts down after data breach

Spyware app driven out of business. Oh no!

dohpaz42 , in Software firm fined $74k for data breach caused by weak password; half a million users affected

PPLingo

As a man, I just want to take a brief moment to appreciate this company’s name. 🤭

Sofrwarefirm1234 isn't weak, it's long and has numbers in it!

Anticorp ,

That's definitely going to be one of the first attempted passwords with a dictionary attack, or even with a manual guessing attack.

KISSmyOSFeddit ,

Not with that typo it isn't

kakes , in LockBit says they stole data in London Drugs ransomware attack

And London Drugs still hasn't told their employees what data was stolen, and if they should be worried about their identity or bank details being stolen. Absolutely ridiculous.

BearOfaTime , in Ohio Lottery ransomware attack impacts over 538,000 individuals

Christmas Eve... 5 months ago? This stuff needs harsher penalties.

Water_Melon_boy , in Dell customer order database stolen, for sale on dark web

Being subscribed to this community taught me that even if you trust the company you're giving your data to(Don't trust any), it's still only a matter of "when" it will be leaked not "if".

It's just a good rule of thumb that all data you give will end up open/sold.

BrikoX OP Mod , in City of Wichita shuts down IT network after ransomware attack

At this time, it is not known whether data has been stolen. However, it is very common for ransomware gangs to steal data in compromised networks for days, if not weeks, before deploying their encryptors.

stembolts , in More than 380,000 additional NYC students had personal info hacked, bringing total to over 1M

The DOE said it is offering the impacted students — some of whom even graduated from the system several years before the security breach occurred — two years of free credit and identity-monitoring services through vendor IDX to help protect against identity theft.

So they are offering nothing. Absolutely nothing. In two years will this stolen data cease to exist? No. This data can never be unshared, these people can never achieve privacy.

But no penalties, no punishment, no prison. That's just for when the poors are negligent or commit crimes. We are just data-cattle. Accept your data-milking and get back to work.

If you want to do something about it, please present your case to the courts. My brother, neighbor, and former college roommate are the judges. Good luck.

Now watch this ad, we know people of your ethnicity with your academic record we acquired like these sort of things.

ceasarlegsvin , in Marriott admits it falsely claimed for five years it was using encryption during 2018 breach

Aes1 and sha1 do very different things...

cm0002 , in Marriott admits it falsely claimed for five years it was using encryption during 2018 breach

Many years ago, back when Marriot locked their non-shit WiFi behind a paywall I was able to get around it by changing some values (Iirc, I literally changed the price that was sent to the server to 0.00) with TamperMonkey lol no server side validation, no lookups, no checksums no verification of any kind lmao

So this doesn't surprise me in the least

Anticorp , in Panda Restaurants discloses data breach after corporate systems hack

I give you money, you give me food. That's the limit of the relationship I want with any restaurant. No, I don't even want my receipt.

underwire212 , in Health insurance giant Kaiser will notify millions of a data breach after sharing patients' data with advertisers

And I’m assuming Kaiser was being a conscientious and responsible company that they made sure these 13.4 million people had given very explicit informed consent to their data being shared with advertisers prior to the data breach, right?

hitmyspot , in Ring customers get $5.6 million in privacy breach settlement

Its a pity that copyrighted material, that artists sell, so want to be seen, for a fee, is fined at $10000 per breach for piracy. But when its peoples privacy that they don't want public viewing, its a pittance.

HootinNHollerin , in Ring customers get $5.6 million in privacy breach settlement

I don’t understand why anyone would think having Amazon cameras on or in their home would be a good idea in the first place but now they get probably $0.72 for their mistake
