Wow who could have forseen this happening especially with everyones data being centralised in one giant database.
We should really change the name. A quick rebranding may be just what the doctor calls for. Maybe one of these;
Public Security number
Social Insecurity number
May have? Son, I’m in the midst of convincing my countrymen to get the hell away from US vendors, because the words “conflict”, “of” and “interests” means nothing to US officials or businesses when put together.
No, you don’t let the people who handle data also share in the spoils of data brokerage - albeit through stock ownership or shared assets.
At the end of the day, yes, the US will leak data, because security is a cost and data is of value. Money printer go brrr.
Everyone from every country will get hacked. If you think you can’t be hacked, you just don’t know you’ve been hacked. That’s how hacking works 🤷♂️
…but we’re talking about leaks, and nobody leaks user and consumer data like US companies.
What was your point? “Everyone gets hacked, so might as well leak”?
There are plenty of leaks all over the world. And since the US has most of the tech companies, the number would obviously be higher.
And that’s not at all what I said, and you know it. You just want to be argumentative for the sake of being argumentative because that’s what makes you feel good.
No, you’re saying irrelevant things because you’re being defensive, and then replying with an ad hominem, because you want to see your enemies defeated and driven before you - because you obviously lack raising. But I digress.
Other places, like the EU, or say China, there are regulations about data security, whereas in the US, it’s the wild west, where companies can cut as much costs as they want and leak data like it’s a sport. The news every year is awash with leak news, and in most cases it comes from the US. So, yeah…
Cope, yankie. Cope.
Everything you’re saying is irrelevant and off topic. See how that works? I can do it too.
Yankee. Oh I got it, you’re an armchair communist.
Tiananmen Square massacre was real buddy.
Your first reply was a whataboutism that tried to deflect the very obvious problem of US companies not taking security seriously, which has now devolved into you calling me a communist…?
E everything you don’t like is a communist, isn’t it?
Take your whataboutisms, ad hominems and the rest of your logical fallacies for a long walk off a short pier, because at this point I’m just blocking you.
Listing off all the reasons why you don’t like how I’m proving your wrong doesn’t make you right.
Awesome.
Social security number is the public key, now just issue everyone a private key. Boom. Fixed.
Excuse me, grandma, we need to verify your private ssn-key or we will have to charge you $5,000.
Boom. Broke. ;)
Zero day exploits, to be expected. Obvious simple solution, just upgrade grandma firmware.
I… am cautiously curious how that process works.
It’s a flash of the grandmother Hardware Interface Protocol.
You’ve never heard of a HIP replacement?
Bravo.
