Man, why can't we get some useful data leaks? Like all the records from companies incorporated in DE, or all the tax records from companies and rich people or another one from offshore account havens.

The problem with useful data leaks is that the people working on them have an unfortunate habit of getting killed.

> At the time of her death, Daphne Caruana Galizia was facing 48 libel suits.

> On 16 October 2017, Caruana Galizia was driving close to her home in Bidnija, when a car bomb placed in her leased Peugeot 108 exploded, killing her instantly. The blast occurred on Bidnija Road, and left the vehicle scattered in several pieces across nearby fields.

I would assume the companies working on those accounts care more about security than the company working for average citizens. They can actually go out of business and see consequences after being hacked as opposed to, say, experian.
