So what actually happened seems to be this.

  • a user was exposed to another users conversation.

thats a big ooof and really shouldn’t happen

  • the conversations that where exposed contained sensitive userinformation

unresponsible user error, everyone and their mom should know better by now

Why is it that whenever a corporation loses or otherwise leaks sensitive user data that was their responsibility to keep private, all of Lemmy comes out to comment about how it's the users who are idiots?

Except it's never just about that. Every comment has to make it known that they would never allow that to happen to them because they're super smart. It's honestly one of the most self-righteous, tone deaf takes I see on here.

Because people who come to Lemmy tend to be more technical and better on questions of security than the average population. For most people around here, much of this is obvious and we're all tired of hearing this story over and over while the public learns nothing.

Your frustration is valid. Also calling people stupid is an easy mistake that a lot of prople make, its easy to do.

Well I'd never use the term to describe a person--it's unnecessarily loaded. Ignorant, naive, etc might be better.
