PIt’s really just more about knowing how software is built
* despite a lot of security protocols exitisting, there will always be some people who have access to huge amounts of data including personal data. It’s needed to keep stuff up and running. You can minimize the people required, make them sign complex contracts, and split it so they get 1/2 data while another team gets another half, but people have access.
* most “hacker” attacks are social engineering. I either call you and say “your dad (name) was in an accident, come here” or call your bank and say “I am xyz and want to withdraw money”.
* ai adds another layer on this. Could you take your pictures, feed it to ai and generate a plausible aadhar card? How about a video? And this tech is at its worst. How much better will it be in five years.Ultimately, if anyone wants to target you, our laws and methods to keep ourself safe have not kept up. Ultimately the only protection Is minimizing one’s self online (and traditional methods like being friends with politicians). The net is a surprisingly good (but old) movie on this topic with Sandra Bullok.
PThis, and try to use a VPN or Apple’s iCloud Private Relay if you can. While the info leaked isn’t dangerous by itself, attackers will put together 4-5 pieces of ‘granular’ information to make some precise guesses.Software Engineers are super paranoid about information online for a reason.
PYou still have to file taxes on behalf of deceased people for stuff in their name. Had to do this for a year or two after my grandfather passed toll recording was sortedPThis is the correct answer OP. Look at your offer letter and see what the notice period is. You are eligible for that much severance.All other things (revoking email / not involving reporting manager) are within your employer’s rights.
