Gregory's Server@dave_andersen this reminds me of the MyHeritage leaks. My dad used it for building an ancestry tree and added our emails. Then we started getting flooded by spam.
>3 months later they admitted to a hack and data breach and storing the pwds in clear, but afaik never notified us, I just found out through my password manager. It's thankfully an email address I hardly use but it's trashed now.
Cue a year or so later: hey, don't you want to test your DNA and store it with us?
-🤔 how about... No?
@dave_andersen suffice to say, my trust in these platforms to do right by their users is near 0. Not just because of that experience, but also because they are such an obviously interesting target to hack.
Like, this kinda data needs state-level-actor protection.
