There will be a data dump.


sort by: page size:

I would relish that data being dumped by someone.

I'm pretty sure they're still going to have the memory dump.

We’ll find out if they actually deleted deleted data or not.

That wont be the case, the data is an evidence in a criminal investigation.

Yeah I saw the pastebin dump. I was more asking specifically how does such a large amount of person information be dumped like that.

Or someone else will do something with their data.

I wonder how this will work long-term as you accumulate an archive of old rarely-accessed data.

I'm sure the data is coming in from multiple sources and being stored on high capacity tape archives or something, if it's not just being thrown away at some point after analysis is complete.

Will they keep the data siloed?

How do you know that? this data was exposed for a day or so, did you dump it yourself?

How are you supposed to dump it? It's like hacking slot machines: you can always make a rootkit which returns exactly the data you're expecting...

What will_lam said. I constantly download data dumps in case the website completely goes down and all of my data is private.

I wonder how they'd get the data off the ship again. I guess they'd need to mine the data on the ship before exporting it.

I want to know what is being done with the data after the fact.

They will probably put it in some archive where they delete it after 10 years. Or they keep it somewhere on a drive where it could be accessed but will never be, since no one has a reason to use the data.

That's fine, I will just wait for the data to leak.

During this process you will lose data. A lot of data.

but what happens to past data

They could be reencoding, witch will destroy the data.
