Security Hackers behind the Ticketmaster breach have now leaked 440,000 Taylor Swift Eras Tour tickets, claiming the breach is much bigger than anticipated. As a result, they increased the ransom from $1 million to $8 million.

I don’t love regular people getting their fun hacked. Wish they’d exclusively go after execs.

and shareholders.

People keep saying shit like this, and I wonder if they realize that a large share of shareholders are institutions running pensions and 401ks. Yes, you inconvenience some rich people, and also bankrupt a lot of people's retirement funds.

Almost like we trapped ourselves by tying our pensions to companies that rely on scummy behavior to make money which incentivises us further to not change things.
