Un-flipping-believable. A day ago Starbucks announces "Web3 experience for its Starbucks Rewards members"
But news just in:
zdnet: Starbucks Singapore says customer data illegally accessed in data leak
Well done, guys. Truly well done. And by "well done" I mean "you complete and utter muppets".
Starbucks sells coffee. How in the name of all that is holy can there be a data breach? I'm asking rhetorically, of course. Starbucks has a Rewards loyalty programme (why is there a rewards system for a poxy coffee shop? Don't know). Birth dates, addresses and mobile numbers have been accessed.
Welcome to Web 3.
When will we learn? Just when?
And that's what grinds my gears. Anyhoo, I'm out of here to go shout at some clouds.
