Oh no CRIME! Thank goodness that something being a crime stops people from committing them.

Thank goodness the internet isn't an international operation filled with nation state level actors and questionable companies running data gathering operations from places they cannot be touched.

Always assume your data has been stolen by an assailant in a place that's only reachable by launching nukes at them. Also assume there is some competitor on the other side of the world now using your data against you.

Please stop treating data theft like Barney Fife level candy store theft. A huge portion of the time even if you know the name of the exact person who did it, there isn't going to be shit you can do about it.
