What is a Data Breach? Hackers Dox Cyber Experts by Accident, Exposing Their Grocery Lists Instead of Bank Data
In a twist that has the internet laughing, a group of self-proclaimed elite hackers targeted a major cybersecurity firm this week, but a coding error caused them to leak the wrong database: instead of credit card numbers, they published the firm's employees' shared grocery lists, complete with a note to "buy more oat milk." As the phrase "what is a data breach" trends, meme historians are roasting the irony: the hackers successfully breached a company that literally teaches people how to prevent breaches, only to expose that one of their top engineers has been hiding a secret family recipe for bland meatloaf. The internet's verdict? "That’s the most embarrassing data breach since 2011."
