If you are a loooong-time reader of DataBreaches.net, you will likely recall a terrible insider breach in Canada that I reported in 2011 where, as a result of the insider wrongdoing, 13 people became victims of arson or were shot at!

There is now an update on the litigation stemming from that case.

High court upholds damages in ICBC privacy breach that resulted in shootings, arson: databreaches.net/2025/04/24/hi

And if you are someone who is one of those loooong-time readers: thank you!

Those were different times.
Thanks to Reverend Onan Canobite for sharing his wisdom with us. I'm going to try them out today – it is spring, after all. You'll have to decide for yourselves what role Louis Armstrong played and whether he can still uphold his role as the Uncle Tom of music history.

Jay Kuo notes that as courts bore down on Trump yesterday for denying due process to those his regime is kidnapping and sending to prison outside the US, Trump replied on social media:

“We cannot give everyone a trial.”

"Hernández Romero was classified as a gang member because he has tattoos that say 'mom' and 'dad' with crowns.

[Yassamin] Ansari told me no one had heard from Hernández Romero, who has been documented to have no history of criminal activity, since March 14.

'Everyone is extremely worried about him,' she said from El Salvador. 'We’ve had no proof of life in over a month.'”

Adrian Carrasquillo reports on the trip of four House Democrats El Salvador seeking information about the detainees the Trump regime has sent to prison there with no due process, 90% of whom have no criminal record.

"The four House Democrats also asked for proof of life of Andry José Hernández Romero, a gay, 31-year-old Venezuelan makeup artist whose detention has also made waves."

"In a twitter rant following the Dobbs decision I predicted 'the people, of all stripes, who got it so badly & utterly predictably wrong . . . will just continue. They'll never admit they were wrong.'

And so it has come to pass. The New York Times, The Washington Post, Time, & so on, cover our constitutional collapse with a 'who could possibly have foreseen this' sort of tone."

'Undertale: an Exploration of Violence and Morality in Video Games through Metafiction'

An interesting read about 'Undertale' and its clever reflection on violence and player agency in video games.

💬 "When a video game offers players the choice to be immoral, while players may often choose to play heroically initially, on following playthroughs they are increasingly driven to abandon their sense of what is right in favor of seeing what will happen."

"There’s a reason this administration has started off targeting immigrants. Those in charge are calculating—and have plenty of evidence to back them up on this—that the average American won’t care. Or won’t care enough to do anything. Besides, they’ve been preparing you for this. Go back to some of Trump’s earliest speeches, and you’ll find hateful, xenophobic rhetoric."
