What's an example of something monumentally/epically bad happening involving this information?
- _Understated_ 10y agoI'm not sure to be honest: It's the tin-foil-hatter in me that is saying this but perhaps something like Google gets hacked and no one finds out for a couple of years giving someone plenty of time and data to do what they want, e.g. perhaps "out" a pile of prominent public figures or just plain extortion. I am not sure but we have seen breach after breach and no one is really batting an eyelid about it so it would have to be a massive breach leading to a massive problem.
