Just as it says in the title. All these companies offering 'privacy' and 'security' services when they can't even keep their own shit secure. At the end of the day, the only chance we have at keeping private and secure is by handling our own data and avoiding all these companies entirely, and hope they all eventually disappear in bankruptcy hell.

Funny how this company is also a 'sponsor' for Have I Been Pwned, yet they are evidently just using that to market themselves to privacy conscious people by having their brand on the site.

These companies never cease to amaze me, and this causes me to trust Have I Been Pwned a bit less in terms of their marketed philosophy vs what they actually are.

I'm just ranting here, because I'm getting increasingly tired of all this shit. Sorry for that.

Just wait until you apply for a new job... The amount of data these applicant tracking systems gather is horrendous!

Those will be the next target. Unfortunately, no matter how private I try to be, the fact all my data is out there with 100 different companies' job portals fucking sucks!!

100 companies that each sold your information to data brokers and is now held by, everyone with money.
