So let’s say there’s this average IT person who was personally affected by this organised ‘financial’ group of fraudsters. One day, he gets access to their website (owing to some incapable element within the Organised crime group who made a mistake) and finds information about thousands of other people currently affected and hundreds of thousands more who’d been affected in the past, what should he do?
The access to the website does not allow him to delete the data, he finds out that the data is held outside the country and he clearly knows that there’s no jurisdiction for his government’s authorities to even do anything. He’s unable to ‘export’ the data to even try and notify everyone affected how to escape these thugs. And when I say crime/thugs, they have all the information that’s on the affected common man’s phone and threaten to ruin their life with it unless they get the meagre amount of money that they’re blackmailing the person for.
Does he go to the media? Does he try and hack their website to expose them? What can a common man do?
