Any pronouns. 33.

Professional developer and amateur gardener located near Atlanta, GA in the USA.

I'm using a new phone keyboard, please forgive typos.

  • It can be both. The company can be at fault for not keeping something secure while the people who steal the data are at fault for stealing data. Data leaks and hacks are not mutually exclusive.

  • Same in America. Someone who found a government website had SSNs just sitting in the HTML was almost prosecuted for viewing the raw HTML after ethically disclosing it.

  • Feeling generous? You can Venmo the US government to help pay down the debt

  • Hack has at least two definitions in a computing context.

    1. A nifty trick or shortcut that is useful. "Check out this hack to increase your productivity."
    2. Accessing something you shouldn't. "They hacked into the database."

    A lot of times they sort of get used in conjunction to describe interesting ways to gain access to secure systems, but using it to describe accessing insecure things you shouldn't is still a valid usage of the phrase.

    That said I definitely wanna see the company face charges for this, this is insane.

  • I don't think it's necessarily part of a larger trend, but it could be. I think it's just in reaction to some of the specific posts being shared.

  • Communication has two sides, i cannot hold up yours

    I feel I've communicated well. You keep not explaining what you meant. I want to know. But you're refusing to tell me.

  • When did this ever become about what laws should be? There already are laws for this. How are you so obtuse? They doxxed thousands of women. I can't stress that enough. They doxxed thousands of women and you're defending them.

  • Except it wasn't artwork, it was driver's licenses. You know, things you obviously shouldn't have access to.

  • If I wasn't participating in good faith I would've just assumed you were saying something transphobic from the start, but I gave you the benefit of the doubt. Then I said you sounded like you meant the positive (not the negative) of the two things I thought you meant and you said you didn't mean that. So... I'm not sure how you think I'm not participating in good faith when I did all that. Even now I'm not writing you off as a monster, I'm willing to hear what you have to say. I'm waiting for you to tell me what you meant, but you're just being vague and refusing.

    I don't know what's more good faith than giving you two benefits of the doubt and willing to give a third if you'd just explain.

  • Damn, do you think this link I found that has a ton of women's drivers licenses is supposed to be public? Better share it to 4chan. They'll know what to do.

  • And then just told other people about what they found.

    That's a weird way to say they doxxed people instead of ethically disclosing what they found. Hiding that detail is why I have a problem with defending this.

    If someone steals something they didn't know belonged to someone (say through an unlocked door), should we prosecute them? I don't know. What did they do next after they found out they shouldn't be there? Did they give it back and tell the building owners "hey, you have an unlocked door" or did they yell to the street "hey everyone, come get free stuff!" How did they behave once they knew they did something wrong.

  • The thing is we don't need to come up with some absolute definition of what should and shouldn't be illegal to talk about this case specifically. They didn't accidentally stumble on this. They doxxed the users instead of responsibly disclosing the problem. This is extremely cut and dry.

    If the story here was "I mistyped something and got to a page I shouldn't have access to, I disclosed it to the company, didn't dox anyone by sharing the problem, and now the FBI is after me" it would be different.

  • Wait, so you are being transphobic?

  • I'd say that's supportive of femme leaning enbies rather than transphobic towards trans women.

  • This article constantly reloads and alternates between showing and hiding some warning about my privacy lol. Unreadable.

    My wife and I have it on Google Maps. I can't remember why, but we've had it for years. I think my wife worries if I'm safe sometimes. I think I check it less than once a year. I checked it once to see if they were on their way home once, that's about it.
