The fact that the hackers have added revoking the API changes to their list of demands... 😂
Ethical hacking? 🤔
It would be ethical, if 4.5 million dollar money was not required.
Spez says that data is valuable, surely he'll be willing to pay a fair price for it!
Does not make it ethical, though. I hope he doesn't pay because I imagine DMs between admins and powermods are included in this data pack, and oh boy if those do get leaked it's not going to look good for either side.
I don't think anyone will actually care. People have no moral values nowadys, less and less critical thinkers, more and more sheep. It'll be like the German embassy incident in the US, hit the news 1 day, that was it... no aftermath, nothing.
