[1]Are we all suffering from data breach fatigue?:

    It could also be, as New York Times reporter Mike Isaac [2]noted on
    Twitter, that the constant barrage of news about Supreme Court
    nominee Brett Kavanaugh and the never-ending outrage about whatever
    Donald Trump just tweeted tends to use up the oxygen in the media;
    there is little left for things like a garden variety Facebook data
    leak. But as Isaac and others have [3]also pointed out, this wasn't
    just a routine breach-in this case, hackers got access to the full
    accounts of certain users, which means they also got access to
    whatever other services those users had logged into using their
    Facebook credentials. That significantly expands the potential
    damage of the hack, since many people sign into other services such
    as Tinder and Spotify with their Facebook login (on Tuesday,
    Facebook said [4]in an update that it hadn't detected any evidence
    of compromised third-party logins, although its investigation is
    still ongoing) …

    Some users threaten to delete their accounts, and it's possible that
    some do, but the vast majority [5]don't seem to care.

  I'm tired of the breach news barrage and it's my job to stay current.
  Other topics dominating the news outside of my immediate personal and
  professional needs I muffle or mute if possible.
