Hackers Claim Breach of Location Data Giant, Threaten to Leak Data

Searching Google for “Gravy Analytics breach” results in FTC action against said company for illegally tracking consumers. Among the results are mentions of HIPAA violations… which in 2025 USA is actually a really big deal.<p>For all of the “but I have nothing to hide” crowd, you need to modify your slogan to, “but I have nothing to hide, right now.”

The real &#x27;data breach&#x27; was that they had the data in the first place. The hacker is likely less of a threat to me than many of the parties they sold the data to before.

Things like this were previous a pain, but now with AI being able to easily shift through these things to identify high value targets (adversary&#x27;s military personnel, politicians&#x2F;executives for blackmailers) maybe something will finally be done. Heck I bet if someone provided a weaponized AI platform to digest this information and float everything of interest in it to the top that might finally get something done.<p>I think at some point the system needs to switch to aggregating violence&#x2F;damage inflicted when it&#x27;s against thousands&#x2F;millions of people. A business can&#x27;t just ruin one persons life without consequence. Slightly damaging millions of lives should rise to a similar level at some point.

Part of me is hoping this leaks. Might be the only way to get people to care.<p>It would also be a fascinating dataset to explore.

I&#x27;m not surprised, these companies are so focused on selling people&#x27;s data that they don&#x27;t care about their security at all.
