The very prominent statistic they use close to the beginning of the article is both confidently and spectacularly incorrect in a way that should have been obvious even to someone doing a cursory skim of the text:
"For instance, there was the National Public Data (NPD) breach in 2024. This catastrophic incident exposed the sensitive personal information of nearly 2.9 billion US, Canadian, and British citizens. "
If you sum up the populations of those three countries, you don't even get to 500 million people, never mind 2.9 billion.
