    They waiting 2 years to let their customer know…2 YEARS. Any small business or individual would be instantly jailed. Demand the same

      Corporations are people… except when those people need to go to jail.

      The article does say that the Justice Department ordered them not to disclose immediately

      It actually seems like it was three months. From a different article

      The company wrote that it first learned of the incident in April, but the U.S. Justice Department determined in May and again in June that “a delay in providing public disclosure was warranted” until now.

      Either way, we deserve a full answer on that delay

    This appears to be related to the same Snowflake breach that compromised Ticketmaster. I wouldn’t be surprised to hear about more companies impacted by this.

    Anything anyone else is doing for you is not protected.

    That’s pretty much the lesson.

      Lesson number 2 should be “you can’t do everything for yourself in theory or escape these things in practice, we need sensible regulation of our systems”

Welcome to the News community!

Rules:

1. Be civil

Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.

Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.

Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title.

Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.


7. No duplicate posts.

If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.


8. Misinformation is prohibited.

Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.


9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.

All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description.
