Maybe the Guard can patrol his databases. https://techcrunch.com/2025/10/03/hacking-group-claims-theft-of-1-billion-records-from-salesforce-customer-databases/ https://techcrunch.com/2025/10/03/hacking-group-claims-theft...

I'll add this back in, as the other poster shows [dead] after their post for some reason: https://techcrunch.com/2025/10/03/hacking-group-claims-theft-of-1-billion-records-from-salesforce-customer-databases/ https://techcrunch.com/2025/10/03/hacking-group-claims-theft... I wonder if the point is distraction. That's a fairly big hack, but now the news cycle re: salesforce is probably discussing this political story.

Personally, I think this is a good reminder that these people aren’t your buddies, and you shouldn’t idolize them as they are looking out for their own power. They go whichever the way the wind is blowing.

This post was submitted to hackernews within 1 minute of Saleforce’s massive data breach was pre-scheduled to leak by hackers going live.

  Excellent catch!

  An interesting coincidence, but that's all it is. This is the first I've heard of the data breach. I saw the Techcrunch article on social media and considered it relevant.

There seems to be a certain paranoia among the wealthy and those in power, namely that peaceful cities are burning to the ground. Maybe they get this from their "news sources", presidential posts and speeches, but it's entirely untrue. Perhaps it's a kind of deliberate mass hysteria. As an example, A group has set up a website to give the "ground truth" of Portland [0]. San Francisco has always had its problems, but under the control of local authorities with domain knowledge. And the same, no doubt, for every liberal city being occupied under the false pretense that it is in ruins. People go to work, schools and even zoos normally and peacefully. You see, in this case, rampant crime, raging fires and anarchy are to be found in the mind of the beholder. [0] https://isportlandburning.com/ https://isportlandburning.com/

  We need to return nuance to everything. And we don't need team politics any more. San Fran has major problems. It's under much better control now, than it was a decade ago. Admitting and realising that truth, doesn't mean that there's anything wrong in Portland. This whole "All (red|blue) cities are (bad|good) is insane. Yet I see both sides playing it. Playing it, because one (bad|good) somehow means all are?! Madness.

    Nuance seems to have gone out the window long ago with blatant lies being stated and posted everywhere. Any nuanced statement, meaning out of lockstep with The Information Ministry, is attacked, and with the usual ad-hominem. Seriously, if you disagreed on some point, say, "Portland is reduced to smoldering rubble" and came under attack via media and death threats, how would you nuance that? We in the U.S. have not experienced what other countries have experienced, at least since the Civil War, and any outside view, presumably nuanced, comes down hard on outright lies and personal and group threats. And other countries have fought fascism on their homelands and see the big picture.

    “We don’t need team politics any more.” Perhaps the single greatest sentence on Hacker News, for quite some time. Thank you.

"He praised Elon Musk’s government efficiency efforts and said he hadn’t closely followed news about immigration raids or Trump’s attacks on the media." It's become a bit of a strategy for Trump supporters to pull 'oh I've never heard about that, let's move on' when confronted with damning evidence of Trump's corruption or incompetence.
