Dutch consumers shrug off data breaches as hackers fail to extort Flink customers

No one paid the ransom demanded by hackers who breached delivery service Flink, despite threats to publish customer data on the dark web, highlighting public apathy toward data leaks. Experts say consumers are "data leak tired," assuming their information will eventually be exposed, which reduces urgency to act. However, vulnerable groups face serious risks, and experts warn against complacency. The Flink attack uniquely targeted individual customers directly, unlike typical ransomware on businesses. Experts advise checking leaked data types and using unique passwords, as sensitive details like driver's license numbers enable identity fraud.
