> Cyber security experts who have reviewed the data say the group is offering a limited preview of the alleged dataset, for thousands of dollars, with full access priced at hundreds of thousands of dollars

at $10 per TB that would be $100k for storage

Thinking you're anon on Telegram in the big 2026? There are real places to hawk this data. Sounds like BS

Not any less than Toshiba, which is very quickly becoming a very enterprise-driven drive

I replaced My "I can stand to lose this" array with Seagate EXOS enterprise drives that were pulls from dells with <10 hours power on time for dirt fucking cheap. Somebody dumped hundreds of them on the market at the same time around ~180 USD each so I blew my load on them. Everything I care about is on an array of HGST helium drives. I've never lost one of those, lost tons of WD and only one seagate personally

edit: forgot the drive failure chart

actually come to think of it we were the first family in my friends group I knew to have internet that wasn't dialup. we skipped it entirely because my family was so behind with everything. we signed on with Rogers Wave @ Home I think in 1995? Do you remember that @Herman_Hetherington? There was ONE company in North America that was distributing WAN over COAX and it was Wave@Home so if you had whatever cable company in the US it was Cable Company Wave @ Home, and then they all dropped the Wave part and it was just Company @Home until some merger with Yahoo then everything was Yahoo@Home. Back when they still offered NNTP for free 😭

They fucked up the roll out with the original LANCity modems (pic related) so every one of them was unlocked so if you had a 10/100 ethernet card in your computer you got the full 100mbit up and down for like, 6 or 7 months before they pushed an update to fix it but people had backed up the original firmware so you could downgrade it and restore the same speed for another like 2-3 years. shit was so ca$h. second pic also related, me and my bitch during 1995
