You know they aren’t a cell phone company anymore but primarily focus on telecommunication infrastructure and IoT technology, right? Fueling a $23 Billion revenue stream. The hack is to give access abilities to the 3rd largest telecommunications company in the world. You say the data is only worth $20,000 but I don’t think you have a very good understanding of corporate espionage value. The hacker is selling an unsubstantiated tool (as in something to use not that its an actual tool or software), that is illegal to use, from unverified seller. The value of something doesn’t ever reflect the value of the product it reflects the value people are willing to pay for the product. The access to a multi billion dollar telecommunications company is worth a fuckton itself, but that’s not what they’re selling. They’re selling the ability to access that data which carries, like I said, tons of risk and potential cost. The hacker prolly does this to mitigate fallout if caught by selling access to data and not the data itself.
I mean, noone used reddit 10 years ago. To a 37 year old like myself, that seems like the reddit shit blew up out of nowhere. Youtube is just a matter of time and outcome of future google break up cases before a legitimate competition comes for its industry share. FB will die with the boomers. The only one I see as a really unmovable object is Twitter because of the universal use by all major sports media/reporting/journalists. It’s the only one with end users applying the platform in any comercial sense outside of marketing. I think the question OP is asking will on the reliance of one of the other platforms falling.
Just my opinion tho so take it with a grain of salt.
