Hackers Claim Breach of Location Data Giant, Threaten to Leak Data

Things like this were previous a pain, but now with AI being able to easily shift through these things to identify high value targets (adversary's military personnel, politicians/executives for blackmailers) maybe something will finally be done. Heck I bet if someone provided a weaponized AI platform to digest this information and float everything of interest in it to the top that might finally get something done.

I think at some point the system needs to switch to aggregating violence/damage inflicted when it's against thousands/millions of people. A business can't just ruin one persons life without consequence. Slightly damaging millions of lives should rise to a similar level at some point.

Someone going after "high value" targets can just buy the data commercially.

Sure, but I can't. But I can weaponize leaked/hacked data sets to bring attention and get the government to care since they don't currently seem to care about the data being collected nor it being laxly protected.
