      There had been so many reports similar to this one in the last few years, that at this point we should all assume that at least some of our private information has been compromised.

      Did anyone read the article? I did and I’m still very confused…

      They say researchers contacted them and the vulnerability was fixed the next day.

      Then the company that had the vulnerability was contacted for a comment and they essentially said “we did a review and found neither us nor our partners were ever vulnerable. We asked the ethical hacker for proof there was a vulnerability and they said give them money for the proof, so we think it was a ransom related incident.”

      Then this article keeps recommending various antivirus software and tools to use.

      AOL.com too?

      Not saying it didn’t happen, but I’m very confused.

      This whole article is weird as hell and seems off.

      I’ll be dead before I run out of compensatory years of free identity theft detection services… I’ve gotten so many letters from companies I’ve never heard of apologizing for data breaches and offering me “a year of identity theft protection”. The last thing I want is to have some other company monitoring my identity too.

      Because it was a good idea to trust tech bros with anything more valuable than a keyboard.

      If you can’t secure an individuals personal data then you have no real business asking for it.

      At this point I wonder how many overlapping data breaches I’ve even been a part of

      For those who didn’t read, the company whose data was breached provides identity verification for financial institutions. Not related to id verification for websites.

      „IDMERIT is a software-as-a-service company that provides identity verification technology. We own and operate our proprietary platform, but we do not own, control or store customer data or the underlying data maintained by independent data sources. Our platform connects to authorized data sources globally to verify individual identities on behalf of our customers.“
      „On November 11, IDMERIT was made aware by an ethical hacker that certain data ports associated with independent data sources could have been open, which had the potential to expose certain databases. Upon receiving this notification, we immediately conducted a comprehensive review of our software, security controls, configurations and system logs. That review identified no exposure, vulnerability or unauthorized access within the IDMERIT environment. IDMERIT’s systems and security infrastructure have never been compromised.“
      „At the same time, we notified all relevant data source partners and worked with them to assess the matter. Our partners conducted their own internal investigations and confirmed that there has never been a data breach or exfiltration from their systems during, before or after this event. We requested a security incident report from the ethical hackers as proof, and the response was a demand for money for the report, which confirmed our suspicion that this was a ransom-related incident.“

      „Based on our internal review and confirmations from our partners, we have no indication that any customer data has been compromised. We continue to maintain robust security safeguards on our systems and are taking these accusations very seriously as we continue to investigate this matter in coordination with our partners.“

      Article says that they were in a database that wasn’t properly protected and possibly could have been taken by bots or hackers scouring the web for accessible data such as this one. Article goes on to say no proof has been shown that any data was actually stolen. I suppose it’s still possible it was and there just isn’t evidence yet.

      Also says the vulnerability was fixed.

      This is pretty much expected these days. Cost cutting by major corporations and the need to shovel all money into stock holders pockets and the C suites? No shyt
