"Clandestine Tracking" seems rather dishonest since half the article is discussing effectively cookies and backend correlation.

imgur just sent me an email that they had a breach in 2014

quote:

What Information Was Involved?
The stolen account information included your email address and password from 2014. As you know, Imgur has never asked for real names, addresses, phone numbers, or other personally-identifying information (“PII”), so the information that was stolen did NOT include such PII. We have always encrypted your password in our database, but it may have been cracked with brute force due to an older hashing algorithm (SHA-256) that was used at the time. We updated our algorithm to the newer Bcrypt algorithm last year.

it's like how at work they tell us to never ever ever look at patents because it's triple damages if the infringement is 'willful'

if we do need patent information we have the lawyers do that for us

in other words yes he is mad that the company does not have magic ocr technology and is instead mostly having things read by humans, as is usually required.
