@cR0w “when we said criminal earlier, that was a regrettable mistake. What we meant was partner. A trustworty professional partner who knows where my kids go to school and where the nursing home my mom lives is located”

@cR0w I'll never understand this logic. "How do you know the morally bankrupt cybercriminals actually got rid of your data?"
"They gave us a receipt."
Yeah...sure...

@rossmadness @cR0w it's never not amusing whenever i read about a big organisations suddenly becoming naive when dealing with morally bankrupt people.
As though as they somehow managed to get to become a multi-million company by just a bunch of "trust us bro"

@cR0w@infosec.exchange So... Instructure will be on the hook if it does happen? I'm not sure how exactly this works on the legal side.

@rossmadness @cR0w but but but... their business relies on being trustworthy! They need to, otherwise the industry suffers! And no one would ever act against their industries interest! All the cybertalkingheads told me!!!

@rossmadness @cR0w It turns out that seeing a way to pretend to solve your problem by spending other people's money and letting other people bear the ongoing risk just gives you a warm feeling of childish trust.
Plus, when you are lawful evil seeing chaotic evil probably just reminds you of your carefree younger days; when you would have been frolicking on the intertubes not being a saashole who has to do earnings calls.

@phil IDK how it works either but I highly doubt they will be held responsible.

@cR0w@infosec.exchange Sad. There is a definite deficit of accountability.

@phil Isn't that the whole point of becoming a publicly traded company in America? It sure seems that way.

@nyanbinary @cR0w I was discussing the Instructure hack with a friend who works for a school district and he stated that almost exactly. I told him that yes, that makes sense if we believe they care about "organization reputation" in the same economic incentive driven context as a regular business. Which I highly doubt. But let's assume they do follow this logic.
What keeps them from selling a copy quietly to another criminal and then THAT criminal actions the data somewhere else without directly saying "Instructure". TAs double dip and keep their "reputation" intact.
