Definitely not, that is Apple employees/suppliers/vendors/other 3rd party people selling private data (users’ names, phone numbers, Apple IDs, and other data) for $7M+.
It can't happen at any company and it is an obvious reason not to trust them. It is not a rouge employee, there were 22 people involved. Either they were hacked, or they were basically employing/contracting criminals.
- eridius 9y agoUser's names, phone numbers, Apple IDs, are all just basic customer information. Rogue employees at any company can sell off customer information. And yes, 22 people, that work at a large company. It shouldn't strain credulity to believe that a company that has over 100 thousand employees can end up with a handful of dishonest ones. This doesn't mean they were hacked. And yes, they were employing criminals, by definition, because the thing those employees did was a criminal act. Presumably they weren't criminals when they were hired though.
