It's a joke site, it generates random excuses for data breaches.

Random excuses presumed to be funny because they're wrong. I disagree strongly with most of them and I hate the oversimplification it promotes. I hate that it promotes this stupid attitude that companies are stupid and unethical because they don't care about infosec as much as they should. People who think this is funny probably also blame users for being too stupid/ignorant for most security incidents. Haha,users management even other IT workers are dumb. Everyone is ignorant except the elite infosec hackers...you can see why it's difficult to listen to anything someone with this attitude has to say. If no one listens to you,you can't educate them. If you're not willing to listen and understand others' perspective they will ignore yours,even if your peers think you're the best hacker ever!

It's more funny because it's so often true. Just like how many people get a dashcam after a crash, organisations tend to get serious after the breach.

  That why I hate it and made my cmment. I strongly disagree with the narrative they push under the guise of a joke. Very arrogant and shallow

    Serious as in minimize loss not serious in they now care about security.

    The part I liked is the idea that "We take your privacy and security seriously" is literally the "Thoughts and Prayers" of the data industry.

      What's wrong with either one? Ok,they claim to take security and privacy seriously,so what?? It's a freaking company! Would you prefer a thoughtful post on medium that uses simple language like "we were wrong and we accept full responsibility,here is what we learned..."? How about no response at all,is one owed to you? Shouldn't they take privacy and security seriously? How is claiming to do so by itself a wrong? How are thoughts and prayers wrong? How are declarations of good intent mutually exclusive to meaningful action?
