Quote of the Day (Jay Katsir, Imagining a Notice to a Data-Breach Victim)

“Dear Data-Breach Victim: By now you are aware that you are the victim of a data breach. You assumed as much, because the only mail you receive amounts to notices of data breaches, medical bills, and solicitations to donate to a good cause (maybe with a little graphic of a snowflake or a hopeful puppy or a gallbladder around the address window), whose senders will eventually contact you about a data breach. Your mail also sometimes contains postcards from your mother, who is certainly the victim of a data breach. She probably just gave her data away after clicking on a sponsored Google result that said ‘Real Rapid Passport Renewal Easy Online.’”— Late Show head writer-producer Jay Katsir, “Shouts and Murmurs: Notice of Security Incident,” The New Yorker, June 3, 2024
