Another fucking health app hack - Lemmy.World

The Privacy Commissioners Office has been calling for proper fines for data breaches for YEARS. Not a single muppet in the beehive has even given it a thought, from what i can tell. The current maximum penalty is $10000. Australia has their maximum penalty set to $50 million.

I’m in this weird position where I’ve never been a part of a Data Breach in part because I don’t install or use any unnecessary Apps. I don’t use them. Apps are not secure and that adds insecurity to entire devices.

It would take an equifax level data breach to release my information.

How have you never been part of a data breach? Have you never signed up to a website? They are getting breached left right and center

I pretty much never give real personal details to websites outside of financial necessity, correct, but also a website is much more secure than an app on average and I’m willing to bet my life on that. The ONLY reason anything is ever made into an App instead of a Website is so that the App creators or operators can harvest MORE INFORMATION from you. That’s it. They are not more accessible, they don’t support more devices or formats, they’re not more secure/encrypted/un-screen-grabbable. They’re just worse and they’re being set up by people who do not mean you well 100% of the time.
