so, the company was Vastaamo. was because it got bankrupt after the breach, and GDPR violations.

the “hacker”(or rather cracker) was extradited from France to Finland.
you can read about how terrible the company’s security was here: https://tietosuoja.fi/en/-/administrative-fine-imposed-on-psychotherapy-centre-vastaamo-for-data-protection-violations

or watch mental outlaw’s video on the matter, or the Wikipedia article on the breach.

now there are several things that shouldn’t have happened (e.g.: don’t do these things on your main OS, have root access disabled, etc.), but I’ll leave that to you experts.

      Dude, did you even read the (very short, obviously biased and sometimes factually incorrect) article you linked? Breivik is in Norway, not in Finland.

        Also, why the fuck should they not have access to ps3, books and such. Prison is about taking away one’s freedom, not about putting people in psychological or physical distress. In Norway we want convicts to be in a better state when they come out than when they got incarcerated (though Breivik will most likely never come out). Who wants to live next to a person who have been 20 years in solitary, I mean come on.

          If you’re not a bloodthirsty Calvinist predestination lover I don’t know if you would understand the American mindset at all.

          Yep. The American system of punishment over rehabilitation is so strange to me. It won’t help one bit when (if in this case) they get out.
