Nestlé says it leaked its own test data, not Anonymous

Nestlé, which is to stop selling KitKats and other brands in Russia, says corporate data leaked online this week by Anonymous was not stolen nor all that useful. The hacktivist group boasted it had obtained and dumped on the internet 10GB of the multinational's records, including emails, passwords, and customer information, …

Michael Daniel, who led the Obama administration's cyber team and now serves as president of the Cyber Threat Alliance, as saying:

...an existential threat like what Russia poses to Ukraine

.

Shudders.

Do as we do, not as we say. I guess Daniel never saw War Games. Or comments that NATO might consider hacking an act of agression. Or even incitement to commit illegal activity given hacking is still a crime in most countries.

Then again, perhaps war games are the future. Have a few UN designated war zones for trials by combat. Then war mongering politicians can fight things out instead of leaving the dying to their civilians. Would probably be self-financing via pay per view.

I think the OP was commenting more about the gramma than the sentiment.

"Nestlé business costumers"

Depends on who. Mind bleach? Don't mind if I do.

Have a break...

In a way, it's almost a shame the Nestle "breach" wasn't real. We could have a headline something like "Nestle Security team: Have a break, Have a Kwik Krap" in true El Reg style :-)

Re: Have a break...

Other junk foods are available. Like Roshen. A local Polish deli stocked that, and Ukrainian chocolate tasted waaay better than Nestle or Hershey. Probably due to cocoa content rather than being vaguely chocolate flavored vegetable fat. AFAIK, already banned in Russia though.

Re: Have a break...

well, an interesting name, 'Roshen', eh? ;)

btw, they have (had?) a great store by Kyiv main train station, just sayin'...

One of Nestle's brands is Purina...

And as we know they've been sponsoring Rebel Alliances for years now.

"they've been sponsoring Rebel Alliances for years now"

I'm going to tell Chewbacca about your offensive and racist remarks regarding his diet. I hope you were finished using those arms.

We have already halted non-essential imports and exports

in general, making lots of noise to demonstrate we're doing the right thing and good guys and, when in fact, we're creating smoke screen to divert attention and could you please stop hurting our bottom line, please, please, we're an honest, family-based, hard-working, ethical, progressive, eco-friendly biz!

and as for diverting attention, well, look at Decathlon!
