Did you not notice that I referenced the Equifax hack?


How many were killed as a consequence of the Equifax hack?

Don't get me wrong, that hack was absolutely massive and terrible, but I think you missed the point of what the parent comment was saying.

Their point was that it must be something real and visceral, on a level that will make people think "something like this must never happen again at any cost". As far as I know, there weren't massive killings of people due to the equifax hack, so that isn't quite on the same level.


The parent edited their comment after I commented.

It originally said

>Did you not remember the Equifax hack?

Of course I didn’t remember it. I explicitly mentioned it as something that didn’t qualify as an Quebec Bridge collapse level event.

They editing to make it seem like they realized that I mentioned it all along.

To your point

>it must be something real and visceral.

I agree that was exactly what I was saying when I started this thread.
