Hundreds of millions of accounts hacked including names, birth dates, and passport numbers, what else needed?
This is considered the second large hacking after Yahoo's 3 billion accounts, I'm personally still receiving emails from the hackers claiming they have access of my accounts and threatening to expose 'explicit shameful details I've shared' and to prove their point they're sending me the old password I used on my Yahoo account.
Luckily, for me at least, there's no such info they can expose, it's a template they use in their personalized newsletter they're sending out, but imagine if there was any info? They're just asking a substantial ransom in Bitcoins for now to their wallet, but what guarantee there is they'll not milk their victims again and again?
Sites should stop capturing people's real ID's and the people should stand up for this ill practice, what guarantee they'll give that their databases won't be hacked? What compensation they can give in the event it's hacked?
