Jesus Christmas. Honestly, how many more times can they steal my ID? It's gotten so they have to run a diff to see if there's anything new.

- perl4ever 9y agoWell, at least they didn't leak their customers' HIV statuses, unlike the other security breach I read about yesterday...
- ethanwillis 9y agoWas that the Grindr one? That's a HIPAA violation.. big fines..
- detaro 9y agoHIPAA only applies to health-care providers and related entities, not random other companies.
- nkozyra 9y agoRelated entities includes the broader "clearinghouse" entity, which has been applied to debt collectors. I agree it would be a stretch to make a claim but I'm not 100% sure it would be fruitless.
- emaginniss 9y agoA debt collector would apply since they have been contracted by a HIPAA-covered entity and the data they have likely came from that source. Grindr is completely unrelated to another HIPAA-covered entity and any health data you give them is solely your responsibility... so don't.
- zentiggr 9y agoA fixable oversight, I hope.
- bpicolo 9y agoArguably that wasn't a leak, they're intentionally putting that data into an analytics store. Whether that's okay is a different issue, but it wasn't leaked to the public.
- joshstrange 9y agoThat wasn't a breach, a possible MitM != breach nor does putting data into an analytics company. I'm not saying they are blameless but it irks me when thinks like this are mislabeled and dilutes real breaches.
