i kept waiting for the screaming about, "what fucking idiot allowed this hack to happen? who is getting sacked for this?" but no it's just a bunch of griping about what a jerk the hacker is rather than how all these twits let lunch walk out the door. and this is an al jazeera article |

core bullet point: ~10mil aussies covered in the breach, out of 25 million available. that with this arse-covering attitude, coverage may increase. i care because i expected it to happen in america first. america is first in everything, usually, but the aussies have america beat, here. but, mm, what was that, that went down, OSS? that i will take no pleasure in being right, but... i am cringing; bracing for a massive data dump of, like, bluecross/blueshield. and dipshits being led by their noses, being told, "be angry at the hacker that walked in our unlocked back door" and yes, how dare they? rather than... secure shit properly? that, i know, easier said than done. but the reaction; the attitude... i suspect it's not being done at all, and that. is. crap. |

i don't. but high school, dogged night owl already, like the alone-ness i get at night. but who's on irc? the aussies. it's insane o'clock here but beer time over there and i find, overclockers.com.au, which, bless it, still seems to exist. i haven't participated in years, but still love them forever. that do you remember my insane milkytracker music? you can thank , that album, for introducing me to trackers. i am on IRC at 4:30am or something, and he's all dfjgdfgj about "retrospection," like, "this is the best thing i've ever done" and then he's yelling at me to download impulse tracker and i did. apparently he moved to the US and got a job for pixar and at least something in the world turned out like it should. that, i dunno, should i ever have to flee the US... i think the weather down under may be more to my tastes, actually |

the other side to cover: i did say i always figured this would happen to america first. meaning, like, sitting here: fucking hell, this will drop sooner or later and will it be my health insurance or some other asshole health insurance and... oh, what, australia? and then i make a thred but mostly: hey, this is any of us, anywhere? no one is accountable? at least tony danza is in charge of discord. |

i propose a year in jail for every million people you compromise, no matter where you live. frankly, i've never even wanted that much power. |

Just yesterday, the health insurer said that number had blown out to almost 500,000, including current and former customers. yeah they're working themselves up to "everyone" and it's not just PR, it's partly for their own mental processing, which is probably pretty BPD about now |

i propose a year in jail for every million people you compromise, no matter where you live. frankly, i've never even wanted that much power. consider this a thought experiment, i suppose, as it'll obviously never come to pass. that if you can track down the shits and legitimately throw them in jail for non-trivial stays, that will sort this out right quick. but you just know the guilty execs will grab some janitor and say "he did it" basic point is the complete lack of consequences of [googles] David Koczkar... fuck, hell, for real? David Cock Czar? That's like when the cable company sent me this shithead letter with a bunch of fluff justifying why they have to raise rates, sorry, signed... richard wadman, a.k.a. DICK WADMAN of the rcn corporation yeah if you sent a few of these idiots to jail, or even just more kindly took away their trophy mansion, we might see a few less data breaches because then they would have actual motivation to give a shit. they don't now |

"Well, fuck me gently with a chainsaw. If it’s only those things then I’ll sleep easy." dear vice, if you're hiring, my writing can also be this acerbic |

Basically, someone forgot to – or never did – set up access to customer data with a requirement that you log in first, presumably with an account and username and password and all the shit that even idiots like me would consider rudimentary to implementing if I was put in charge of the personal data of, I don’t know, 10 million people. still think i can do this job. |

that i do have some experience. the stock price is god and i'm in, like, tea with the CEO twice, and some other random zoom call where i am actually permitted to directly interact, then also a fourth thing i think. i repeated the same three our four ideas each time. after the third he seemed to remember me as a distinct individual and one of my ideas suddenly came out of his mouth one day. weird as it may sound, i am actually quite satisfied with that. like: hmpf. finally got something done around here if you're paid that fucking much, hey, yo, you should bear a proportionate amount of the responsibility -- even criminal. |

but with the CEO guy, it actually gets me thinking about what DADONCK said about how lady gaga had like... a storm of syncophants around her and that she seemed interested in what he was doing briefly and this set off extreme alarm and she was hoisted off. so it was kind of like: ha! i got one in |

that i write too much. but you just complain; you never offer a constructive outlet. has anyone ever thought to ask me to summarize? |

1. Was expecting a major US healthcare "provider" held up everyone's HIV status for bitcoin to hit the US first but Australia is innovative 2. If you threw execs in jail for one year per million pleb compromised things would change real fast, but would never happen; they'd just grab some janitor and say "he did it" and this is a crappy thought experiment to say: THEY HAVE NO CONSEQUENCES FOR THIS. 3. I'll test the acerbicity of my writing on a test strip vs. a vice article any day 4. Experiencing interaction with a CEO as a sort of octopus collective mind jealously protected by a cloud of sycophant tentacles. Whenever he seemed interested in what I was doing, he was carted off. I kept repeating the same few ideas and eventually one came out of his mouth -- that it was now his idea; that it would bleed into policy. a little bit of me in there. but it was also so satisfying hacking past that firewall of jerks. that this is probably me peaking on politics so let's just frame it up and remember it |
