Most of the victims appear to be German users.

Germans are particularly afraid of credit cards and electronic transactions. This is going to set them back 20 years.

Yes, although slowly Germans are changing in their acceptance of such vulnerabilities. But ts not as if were the first data hack. Many others there have been before, sometimes featuring the user aco****s of hundreds of thosuandsm even millions of customers, sometimes featuring the theft of dozens of millions of biometrical dataset (10% of the Indian population at least is affected, and one third of the US citizens).



I just can giggle when some lobbyist and some polticians try to explain intpo the camera that the system behind their latest wanted stunts "is safe", and that security measures "are rigid". We hear clowns talking with a propaganda job on their hand and a clueless mind in their heads.



I am quite technoaffine, actually. What I have a problem with is how careless people embrace technology in opportunistic ignoring of its implicit vulnerabilities and invitations for abuse, may it be by criminals, may it be by corporations and politicians and governments.



There is no anonymisation of data that could not be - automatically - reversed. There is no data deletion. There is no safe digital business. And thwe wanted digitalisaiton of currency transfers only increse the totalitarian grip for power by a bancrupt state who wants to plunder private property and inflate "money".


Thats why I hope and pray for a digital theft like this one - but multiplied by a factor in the thousands. So thta most of the ordinary Peters and Pauls get hit, and hopefully start thinking and refusing policies pishing these things. If two of three households in a country would find they lost money to digital robbery, and it is several hundreds or even low thousands of coins - then this would make many people turnign loud, I would hope.
