> “A legacy data storage system was compromised”

I am always amused by corporate jargon used to cover up ineptitude.

In this case legacy data storage system = publicly accessible bucket


It's like when B737 Max crashed and Boeing blamed a "software glitch". It's about dressing the failure up as something that could randomly happen to anyone.


It is amazing how quickly anything relatively modern gets designated “legacy” when the business needs to blame it for their mistakes and/or incompetence.


There was also a website posted on 4chan where you could rate member's photos against each other in terms of attractiveness.
