Ledger highlighted that the breach did not lead to access to any payment information, including payment card or bank account details, and that users’ account credentials or passwords were not affected.
“We would also like to remind you that Global-e does not hold any sensitive personal data — such as gender, date of birth or government ID numbers — to serve our customers,” the company added.
This is precisely one of the things that scare me, and that I commented about on another post yesterday.
The problem is that there is no retroactive solution for this, which means a lot of people will have problems.
Digital hygiene is quickly becoming something we have to plan to teach children sooner than later.
I've been thinking a lot about this. I don't want to make my children paranoid, but I do want to help them avoid some decisions that have very lasting consequences.
For ourselves, I often wonder if it doesn't make sense to move with some frequency.
I move frequently, it helps.
Been thinking this also. Sad but maybe a necessity especially for us bitcoiners.
Always order a hardware wallet to a PO box or use a mail forwarding company if possible
I think constantly how to make them "the correct amount of paranoid". I made a lot of mistakes, and I will try to at least use them as a kind of real-life example of what can go wrong (assuming I'll be able to have an honest an reasonable relationship with them).
I also think that introduce them to the rudiments of programming and informatics could be beneficial because they could endogenously develop a curiosity about the issues and weaknesses of the current digital world we are immersed in.
On the other hand, I believe the most difficult obstacle will be peer pressure. I genuinely do not know what I would do if my kids would be in a position of being excluded because they don't have phones/social media. I know what I should do ideally, but the details and potential consequences I can not reasonably predict are too many.
Concerning moving, I get that it would help if an address is leaked, but it's obviously a non-solution to (what I believe is) the vast majority of people suffering from these data breaches since work/life flexibility is kind of a "luxury".
I would like to remind Global-e that dob or gender is not sensitive personal information. No one cares if you shipped to a woman or a 70yo. My phone number, address, email, name are sensitive personal information.
Time to call some lawyer friends and see if these new tort law implementations in a bunch of EU member states can be leveraged?
buahahahaha
