The issue affected organizations as diverse as American Airlines, the New York MTA, Maryland's public health agency and dozens of others. The leaks have been plugged and there's no indication any data was stolen. But millions of people's personal information had been at risk. — PolitiTweet.org

Some 38 million private records, including Covid vaccination and testing data, were exposed to the public internet for months due to misconfigured settings in a widely used Microsoft platform, security researchers say: https://t.co/3OvHtrhcRL — PolitiTweet.org

Here's a great piece by @racheljanfaza on the growing momentum of cryptocurrency and blockchain advocates in Washington. Lobbying operations dedicated to the cause are expanding. So are activist groups. https://t.co/bxtRMm6Rex https://t.co/kpkC7u5pDL — PolitiTweet.org

The CEOs of Amazon and IBM will be at a cybersecurity meeting held by the White House on Wednesday, per people familiar. Another person familiar says Microsoft and Oracle will be among the 35-ish expected to attend, though I haven't been able to confirm if it'll be their CEOs. — PolitiTweet.org

@GustavoTurnerX @CNN Hey Gustavo, we’ve heard from a number of folks who share your view. We’ve issued a correction for an inaccurate claim made by one of our sources and done a bit more to reflect the voices of sex workers in the piece. I also shared some thoughts here: https://t.co/wMCUGmOQRX — PolitiTweet.org

For that, I apologize. I hope you'll still consider reading the piece with a view toward its main point: Payment companies may operate largely outside the day-to-day experience of internet users, but these infrastructure providers enjoy enormous influence over the internet. — PolitiTweet.org

In pursuing that goal, I included an inaccurate claim about OnlyFans that should have been fact-checked further and excluded from the story from the start. I believe in being transparent with readers about my process and showing my work (or lack thereof, in this case). — PolitiTweet.org

That's why we included the perspective of some of those who have been leading that campaign — to uncover and explain where this increased push by payment companies comes from. Not to spread inaccuracies, amplify opinions or cast aspersions. — PolitiTweet.org

The story I wrote shone a light on the immense power of payment companies to dictate what the internet looks like for millions of people. But their crackdown on adult sites didn't emerge from a vacuum. It was the result of a sustained pressure and lobbying campaign. — PolitiTweet.org

We've also heard from readers who say the story should have included more voices from sex workers. We're committed to directly covering the experiences of sex workers, which is why our OnlyFans coverage plan included @saraashleyo's excellent piece: https://t.co/DfJVaheVbE — PolitiTweet.org

@RationalBlonde I hear what you’re saying about NCOSE. Including their claim about the verification system was a mistake and we’re issuing a correction. The overall point of including them was to explain their role in lobbying credit card firms to make new policy, not to amplify false claims. — PolitiTweet.org

@RationalBlonde Hi Alice, thanks for bringing this to our attention. You’re absolutely right that this was an oversight on my part and I should have done more to run it down. We’re working to address this now. — PolitiTweet.org

The fake email going around apparently asks for names, addresses and dates of birth. In recent months, FTC officials have noted a wave of fraud and scams, particularly related to the pandemic. Some officials (like Khan) have faulted tech platforms for facilitating their spread. — PolitiTweet.org
