Crunchyroll, the largest online anime service, got hacked. Every user's detail got leaked. Anybody who has ever made an account, whether they were a subscriber, or just somebody who had bought anything anime related (figurines, merch, etc) were leaked.

Why does this seem to be happening to every major internet platform every month or so?

It's because good SWEs are in extremely short supply and the top-paying companies vacuum them up.

Think about how dumb that guy needed to be to execute malware on your work laptop. He probably received a Nigerian scammer email like "You've Won The £100,0000 Inheritance, Click Here To Download the Bank Details Immediately" and he actually went through with it

A lot of platforms outsource some portion of their data management to some third party in the third world. It was the same vector used with the Discord breach a few months back.

It's retarded to pay third-world poorfags peanuts, and then expect them not to take bribes in exchange for administrative credentials. You can't fucking trust them. Stop.

The hacking aside, 90% of the fallout of the hacking lies with the banks and other services. Banks should have an automated way of issuing service-specific credit card numbers so that even if they get stolen they're completely useless. Same goes for e-mails, I should be able to spawn infinite sub-emails that can be tied to a specific service that all feed into my main e-mail, that way if there's a breach I can shut it down (and immediately know which service was compromised.

Most importantly no service should have your name, address, birthdate, or any other information unless it's directly required by said service.

This has nothing to do with it. If anything, it is easier to updoot than ever.
The real problem is everything is being outsourced, more of the third world is coming online and they never stop trying to breach and scam, and less and less emphasis is being placed on giving a shit about customer data.
All this data that got breached? Who cares. It isn't the company's data, it is yours.

linux is riddled with numerous race condition kernel exploits checked in by a variety of threat actors at least 11 of which are semi publically known and the current geopolitical climate provides excellent opportunnity to exploit them by both state actors harvesting intel and criminals selling data for profit. You asked, I answered. I don't rank msft, google apple or amazon or meta any better either due to cloud portalism being insecure and unprivate by design.
>>
>>108440836
AI lets anyone make complex malware with ease
>>
before you ask there is zero incentive for anyone to report exploits 'for the good of the 'community' given they have real commercial value to both states and crooks who can and will pay reliably and well for them far more so than either untrustworthy modern corporates or open source 'communities'. This shit was always about software testing, including stuff like unit testing and testing on metal more so than development and due to retardation, lack of professional understanding and cost cutting there is little if any open source software testing and corporate testing was gutted by inept corporate mismanagement as a cost cutting exercise to use telemetary data and api testing in VMs as a substitute. It's almost impossible to spot these exploits anywa. Vast sections of code would have to be rewritten to introduce consistent mutexes on any started resources which would break a huge chunk of hardware and driver support and take years and a vast amount of testing. Please don't come at me with OS tribalism either.
>>108442083
>I don't rank msft, google apple or amazon or meta any better either due to cloud portalism being insecure and unprivate by design.

It's easier for states and crooks (plural) to check this shit into open source when there are big code drops adding functionality or major change in opensource but any advantage closed source with cotrolled access had is blown away when it becomes cloud portal orientated as that is a profoundly flawed design when it comes to either privacy or security.

My advise? Don't use anything that requires an internet connection. If it does not work offline it is not worth using. Limit yoor exposure to 20 or so websites and access them by device with zero personal data on it that is blocked by etc hosts from anything else and if you want personal computing and a degree of freedom, get your offline LAN done. The whole corporate and governmental ecosystem that created the PC and internet is against you. Offline lan,now.

Not really, these exploits are very carefully designed and injected many many years in advance by quite large teams of very competent individuals.

the more patches updates and lines of code that are checked in the more opportunities to inject more exploits. You just don't get it. Updating software was NEVER a valid solution compared to releasing it peak quality then noting flaws and periodically replacing it in entirety with the next peak quality. Marketing departments and open source thrives on releasing as soon as possible not waiting years until something is actually out having been waterfalled though repeated and comprehensive cycles using all available test methodologies. That's time consuming and expensive and hard. Inept managers and idiots that are capable of turning to insecure and unprivate by design cloud portalism purely to try and harvest cents, who long ado passed any boundaries when it came to spyware and adware really really don't care. It shoud be also obvious to anyone in the open source world that the peak suspicion for people compromised by criminal or state actors should be those that approve code checkins. Traditionally there are there methods
1)Threat, speaks for iteslf.
2)Blackmail, either financial misconduct or homosexuality (in the past) now pedo
3)Payment, usually either drugs or money or sexual services or access to them

It's no suprise to be to see profiles like transvestites rise in open source due to this. They become protected assets and advanced by the interests that own them. Same with immigrants from India or China with zero loyalities other than to personal advancement and financial gain.

Now, I won't disagree there, but education in the West has been a total trainwreck for a while now, because the aim hasn't been top performance, but total equality.
Which is a whole lot easier to achieve by making the top performers more stupid instead of making the retards more intelligent.
Collectivism is a grave mistake, that's costing the West dearly these days.

the human element of cordinating the compromised human asset that authorises the code check in and the sheer completity of some of these inter thread race condition activated kernel exploits make that seem unlikley, these are full blown software projects in their own right with big teams behind them

The very fact you use that expression merely shows you have absolutely zero insight into the quite sustantial differences between different nations that you ridiculously group together under one umbrella which may as well equate to 'places with a lot of white people who vote and stuff' that my dicator does not like. It illustrates your profound ignorance of the different nations in the EU and in Europe but not in the EU. They are all quite different let alone the US, Canada, Australia, New Zealand etc etc. Many of them don't even speak the same language let alone have the same educational systems and quite often within that there are divisions into private and public education, or for example Catholic run and secular. Many promote extreme excellence and discipline at a level unimaginable to you. You are in every way, a product of the backward region of the world you clearly inhabit. Every single leading academic location of excellence is in the USA or Europe. Your ridiculous assumptions can only be attributed to the inevitably collectivist, authoritarian and corrupt backwater that spawned you. I often read shit like your post and think to myself how great it is that the third world relies on entirely rejecting reality when it considers the world. It means you live in a psychotic bubble and can formulate nothing that can impact on or damage civilisation. The immense fraud and plagarism, nepotism and corruption and worthlessness of third level insitutions in places like India and China and Russia is matched only by the worthless belligerance and psychosis of the unwanted immigrants they produce. You really can't even imagine anything better.

South east asians and Chinese should be banned from student visas simply because of the amount of visa fraud they engage in.

They've been common for a while, but you haven't noticed because you aren't old yet. Someday in the future you'll get a letter in the mail about your local clinic/hospital/laboratory being part of a data breach. Crunchyroll is one thing, but small, private companies do not give a crap about infosec. It could be that you aren't even a patient, but because of information sharing you end up in it anyway, because someone put you in emergency contacts or gave you access to patient records of relatives.

Mostly because they themselves are who decide what is "excellence" and what is not.
That might have been a good way to do it until a while ago, but since the academic system was flooded with complete fucking drips, that will "science" anything their socialist leaders demand them to, because they would be out in a second without those guys' support, that's not the case anymore.
I'm not suggesting 2020s-science was any better wherever you might think I live. (I live in EU-Europe and it's often like living in a RL-1984 where the "Big Brother" is a bunch of incapable retards, that think, they rule the world. For social justice.)
I see it in my first-world nation: Across some states almost half the children at age 15 can't fucking read anymore. In ANY language, mind you. They will receive senior high school diplomas anyway (allowing them to enroll at university), because it wouldn't be "fair" to not hand it to them, and you don't want to be called a racist, do you?
And that kind of total social justice equalization bullshit continues into academics.
It's a total farce. The West is completely ablaze, but the mainstream media warn people to not pay attention to it for otherwise they are fucking Nazis.
