You're conflating privacy and security (which are similar I know).
If you know my entire banking history that's a privacy issue (which jfaucett was ok with). However, if you are able to access my account and take money, that's a security problem.
The line can get really fuzzy sometimes, but they are different issues.
- eli 10y agoSo did Wikileaks violate privacy or security when they released data containing unredacted credit card and social security numbers?
- Practicality 10y agoSecurity. Although SSN in theory should be a privacy issue. Credit card numbers are clearly similar to keys. They are the keys to your bank balance.
