@parkerslawyer So, I'm not the only one who felt that shot was jarring. Funny how our minds perceive something is not right even though we haven't seen it before.
Peak Capitalist Product Strategy:
- They removed SD card slots to make you pay for cloud storage.
- They removed 3.5mm jacks to make you buy their TWS ear buds.
- They removed chargers in the name of eco-friendly so you pay extra for chargers.
- They removed ports to make you purchase their dongles and hubs.
- They removed repairability for selling replacements.
- They removed ownership to sell their subscriptions.
@PotterWorldUK This confusion only came from the movie. In the book it showed as Scabbers. This leads me to belive that the map shows a different name when in Animagus form.
#ALERT: 🔴 Cargills Bank of Sri Lanka 🇱🇰 has reportedly suffered what may be the largest data breach in the country's history. A massive data dump has been posted on the dark web, with a hacker group claiming responsibility.
⭕️ The dump reportedly contains highly sensitive customer information, including NIC numbers, passport details, specimen signatures of staff, and more. If you're a Cargills Bank customer, as a precaution, you should assume all data you've shared with them has been compromised.
⭕️ Best practice in these scenarios is full transparency—informing customers of all available details and providing continuous updates as new information emerges. Unfortunately, the bank has not done a good job handling this situation so far, and customers have still not been properly informed about the incident. There is almost no mainstream media coverage.
⭕️ If you're potentially affected, take immediate steps to protect yourself: monitor your accounts closely, change passwords across all services (especially if you reuse passwords), and monitor your credit.
The following is a thread by @dinidu breaking down the breach and its contents. He has done an exceptional job. Some key points here are based on his findings—read his full thread on X for the complete picture.
