I’m not sure what is the worst part of reading an article like this that describes an obgoing investigation into the selling of millions of customer records from a “major mobile phone company.” The employee who had access to, ability to exfiltrate, and sell the records to competitors? The company that had no idea what happened until a third party had to break the news to them? The vague details that we’re yet again subjected to? That a company would buy such records (believe it!)? There are other issues I have, but I’ll stay quiet on them and only say that if there is a monetary value on data like this to someone in the world, then it will be realized, whether unauthorized or “authorized.”
