I wonder if anyone bothered to proofread the article.

Noticed that as well. And I thought my 100GB machine was beefy.

I couldn't even read the article since it's apparently paywalled. So ... well, that was 30-40 seconds I'll never get back.

Wired is not the publication it was 20 years ago.

Technically correct? The "M" in "NVMe" is for "memory".

Maybe not a popular take but This is kind of a victimless crime. They mishandled private data but so did Experian (for example) and she never had a breach! On all the other charges I'd argue the tech companies poor security processes were by design because it generated more revenue.
