So a couple of days ago I got a letter.
Back in 2019/2020 I’ve send a job application to a company and they got hacked lately… appearently. Or to be exact: They outsourced their hiring process and the company that does the applicant-management for them got hacked. Now they have send me a letter, that my resume and other data was probably affected, even though, they are required to delete such data within 6 months.
The sentence that my “data was still present at the database level without their knowledge” was nice but … that’s just a load of bullcrap.
How hard is it to write a cronjob which nukes database entries after 6 months?
If the law requires you to delete data after 6 months, I believe that includes the fucking database level you imbeciles.
Now my data is somewhere on the darknet and I’ll probably start getting spam, phishing and whatnot on my email and phone. Thanks I guess.
