Attached: 1 image As it turns out, Volkswagen has been collecting extensive geo data from all their electric cars and made them available online in an AWS bucket. Almost 10TB of geo traces from 15 MiO cars. Amazing detail and patterns. This is why I don't want a smart car 🤯 https://events.ccc.de/congress/2024/hub/en/event/wir-wissen-wo-dein-auto-steht-volksdaten-von-volkswagen/ #Volksdaten

      Not just Europe, everywhere. Look at all the breaches, every day.

      Until those breaches cost companies serious money, they won’t do anything about it.

        I just got a notice that a place I worked 12 years ago got breached and my info like full name and social was in it.

        Cool. Idk why they even kept info that far back…

      Have you not been paying attention to GDPR courts? The fines are usually in the hundreds of millions of Euros.
