Sounds like the statement is referencing the past not the future. I think it’s a reasonable thing for them to say: this was stolen, and that sucks, but perhaps a little reassuringly we haven’t detected this being misused. idk.
- bee_rider 3y agoTo the extent that it is reassuring, it is misleading, right? Unless they have some way of being reasonably sure that the fact that they haven’t detected misuse implies that it hasn’t happened.
- ethbr1 3y agoI think there's probably a legal reason that's included, as it's in all info leak announcements I've seen.
- bee_rider 3y agoIt seems like the most reassuring/misleading thing that can be said without technically lying.
- ethbr1 3y agoOr there's a legal responsibility to disclose if you know anything? So everyone has to explicitly say they don't? IANAL, so not sure. That it's always included and worded exactly the same makes me suspect legal instead of PR.
