360m Myspace accounts? Oh no!

Someday, our immortal cyber personas, born from black box AI-created manifestations of our real selves, will be so disappointed in us.

It’s almost not even possible to not have an online presence somewhere liable for compromise and abuse these days. That is unless you were born and kept off the grid by some weird cult.

So basically, some data hoarder decided to collect data breaches and somehow that is a cause for alarm even though that is normal behavior by a lot of us who collect data like this since they become useful to us in our projects?

Someone’s been playing too much Bloons lately.

I have a solution:

governments should heavily fine companies that are subject to data breaches.

If it cost them real money (proportional to their market cap, the amount of customers affected, and/or the severity of the breach) to allow a data breach, I’m betting they’d shore up those holes REALLLLLLLLLL QUICK.

This reminds me of the movie hackers.

Is it possible the authors or site isn’t super familiar with cyber security, or the research side?

I’m mean, it’s cyber news, but how is this much different from have I been pwnd?

An I missing something, or was this just a click bait title to scare people?

Edit: so if this was for legit purposes, it should have been secured, otherwise it just contributes it assists with threat actors. I’m guessing this is why the community is upset.
