Maybe if these companies didn't have massive data lakes hovering up every last moment of telemetry that serves no purpose other than filling data lakes, they wouldn't find people trying to pump it. Fuckin weird.

Wasn't the first time Comcast Title
sucked a D
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Comcast has confirmed that hackers exploiting a critical-rated security vulnerability accessed the sensitive information of almost 36 million Xfinity customers.
This vulnerability, known as “CitrixBleed,” is found in Citrix networking devices often used by big corporations and has been under mass-exploitation by hackers since late August.
Hackers have used the CitrixBleed vulnerability to hack into big-name victims, including aerospace giant Boeing, the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China, and international law firm Allen & Overy.
Xfinity, Comcast’s cable television and internet division, became the latest CitrixBleed victim, the company confirmed in a notice to customers on Monday.
The notice doesn’t say how many Xfinity customers have been impacted, and Comcast spokesperson Joel Shadle declined to say when asked by TechCrunch.
In a filing with Maine’s attorney general, Comcast confirmed that almost 35.8 million customers are affected by the breach.
