  This situation would have been easily preventable with basic understanding of what they’re doing is what OP is saying. This leak is not something highly complex, it is painfully stupid on the side of the developers.

  There’s a difference between a hack, where data is exposed, compared to data exposure due to negligence or ignorance on the development side.

    Again, how should the end use know anything about what is going on at their end? How does anyone “vett” that? It is a nonsense “argument” to put blame on the users.

      Where I’m from there’s certificates a company can get, that confirm a certain level of process and IT security. Also a company existing for at least 5-10 years without incidents is a “vetted” company in my books. At least anything that managed to produce a working IT system before 2021 when AI came around.

      I believe there’s a bit of bad wording going on with the original comment. Take it up with that guy, lol.

  This was more like leaving all your valuables in a cardboard box on your front lawn. Anyone can just take it, if they care to look inside the complete unsecured box.

  Someone just drove up and tossed the box in their truck. No lock involved.

        I assumed people would be able to find Wikipedia’s “switch language” button and Datensparsamkeit has a better fit here that eine be lost in translation.

  I love how people just jump on whatever they like, instead of actually thinking about the stuff they read/comment on/upvote. Exactly like on Reddit, no difference.

    How strange that a site designed exactly like reddit behaves like reddit.

      The thing is that many here think they are better, they look down on Reddit. There is a certain shift in what demographic switched over but generally it is the same.

        I thought they were looking down on the owners of reddit, not the user base.
