Comcast isone of the most hat companionship in America . What ’s worse is that it ca n’t stop doing infuriating things . This week in Reasons Comcast Sucks , an apparent taxicab led about 200,000 client accountsshowing up for sale online .
Comcast says it was not hacked . Rather , the company is “ blaming the incident or else on unsuspecting customers who may have visited malware - ladened sites or fallen victim to attack through their east - mail that allowed hackers to prevail their data,”according to The Washington Post . In other words , it ’s not Comcast ’s fault that hundreds of thousand of its customers ended up with their Comcast certificate on the internet . It ’s the client ’ fault for being bad calculator user .
Who live what really happened . The batch of 200,000 accounts were part of a large rubbish dump of about 590,000 accounts thatwas being deal for or so $ 1,000 . Most of those were outdated , but 200,000 of them are valid , valid enough that Comcast reset all of those customers ’ passwords today . It does n’t look like anybody ’s life-time has been ruin as a result of the leak , however it take place .
But still , like , what the hell Comcast ? If something like this befall again , just say sorry . You do n’t even have to explicate all of the point , but just so you know , it ’s really condescending to blame your client over a monolithic shtup up like this . Not that we ’d expect any affair more from America ’s most hated party .
