MODERATORS
Article says the following was breached:
Detailed location logs showing exactly where and when cars were parked.
Personal information of owners, such as names, email addresses, and phone numbers.
Insights into users’ routines, workplaces, leisure spots, and even sensitive visits, such as government offices, hospitals, and private establishments.
That is a lot of information about a person's life.
Aggregating information can increase its sensitivity level, government employees deal with this on a regular basis; why are they giving data breeches like this the kiddie gloves?
