Could a major cyberattack reshape U.S.-Russia talks? Erin Doherty reports President Trump brushed off a Russian hack of the U.S. federal courts’ system that exposed sensitive sealed records before his Putin summit. The courts are now stepping up security amid ongoing threats.

Je viens de recevoir ce courriel de Pandora.
J'ai passé une commande sur ce site il y a 2 semaines.

Je ne considère pas que ces données soient "très courantes".
Il me semble que la date de naissance, associée au nom, soit assez compromettante 🤔
Non?

C'est devenu banalisé partout.
C'est ça qui est inquiétant.

Allianz Life says "majority" of customers’ personal data stolen in cyberattack.

@TechCrunch reports: "The insurance giant would not say if it had received any communication from the hackers, such as a ransom note. The company also would not attribute the breach to a hacking group."

TechCrunch · Allianz Life says 'majority' of customers' personal data stolen in cyberattack | TechCrunchExclusive: Allianz Life said the "majority" of its customers and employees had data stolen in the July cyberattack. The company said it has notified the FBI.

Another major "breach."

1. The public is completely desensitized to these events. People used to think of them like hurricanes and wildfires. Now we think of them like traffic fatalities.

2. Engineering the proper infrastructure is hard, but not impossible or even slightly mysterious. But it is expensive, and there are a myriad of perversely inverted incentives to literally ignore such investments. (Like an arms-length vendor, for instance, to outsource it to: irresponsibly as a service.)

Not least of the backwards incentives is a regulatory regime built upon (a) a universal ideology of maximizing extractive profit by externalizing all costs and (b) an infinitely-funded and permanently-unsupervised national security state pushing to leave everything on the floor so they can hoover it all up.

tl;dr for 30 years it has been like this on purpose and we all accept it passively
