@evawolfangel Well good luck that no train staff bothered to check your Interrail ticket too closely then. Seriously, what of those data items do you consider "secret"? Do you ever travel to countries where you need to show your passport or ID when checking in at a hotel, and they scan it? Note: I am not saying that the data breach was not serious. It was.

@tml @evawolfangel the passport number is freaking sensitive. My private address is freakibg sensitive if *I* feel it is, not when someone else feels it is (I mean you). When I show my passport at a hotel, the recptionist doesn't keep a copy of it's number to lose it later on, but only checks I'm who I claim to be. your reply is as baseless as it is unkind.

@tml mainly my physical address. I am journalist reporting on cybersecurity and I saw so so many leaks. I know that hotels and many other institutions don’t take security seriously. At the same time I receive threats from people I report on and I really don’t want them to find my home and beat me up. So it’s necessary not to share my real physical address. My name was real in that case because otherwise of course the ticket wouldn’t be valid.
