DavriellelounaInsurance giant says most US customer data stolen in cyber-attack
At this point I assume most data breaches are just a criminal conspiracy between the corpo and data brokers.
No corporation bothers securing their data to a reasonable extent, so naturally they might as well accept the additional revenue stream or a “breach”. It’s not like they face any significant consequences 99% of the time.
Yeah but like why not? Acting stupid is a thing.
… unless money is involved
Stop trying to stop bad guys from being punished.
I will always downvote Hanlon’s Razor. Not because it’s useless, but because it doesn’t really hold true in capitalism and fascism. I can’t speak to this specific example, but peoplle act out of malice all of the fucking time.
This is an absurd conspiracy theory that doesn’t hold up to even the lighter scrutiny. Which data broker was Equifax secretly distributing info to when it got hacked? Data brokers don’t need this type of conspiracy to buy and sell your data- it’s already completely legal. How do you think these companies got it in the first place?
