Among the latest data-breach villains: the Washington Post
Members of the Washington Post’s extended diaspora, meaning both former employees as well as past freelancers, have begun getting an unwelcome reminder of that chapter in their professional lives: a letter from the Post, sent from an address not in the District but in West Sacramento, Calif., informing them of a “Data Security Incident.”
That inefficient phrase is defensive legalese for “data breach,” which the letter says, in comparably defensive passive voice, happened between July 10 and Aug. 22, 2025, when “certain data was accessed and acquired without authorization” from unspecified Oracle E-Business Suite applications.
In my case and others, to judge from reports from fellow recipients of this joyless notice, the “certain data” included names and Social Security numbers.
The letter may not spark any more joy at Oracle, since it describes the vulnerability exploited as a “previously unknown and widespread” flaw. Oracle’s own warning red-flags it as “remotely exploitable without authentication.” But the paper’s disclosure does not address another cause of the data breach: how the Post chose to retain this sort of sensitive data long after it should have stopped being regularly business-relevant.
Consider my example: The last time I had any ongoing transactions with the Post that should have involved my SSN was 15 years ago. I rolled over my 401(K) after leaving the paper, and Jeff Bezos buying the Post in 2013 resulted in the company transferring my pension and those of other ex-Posties to former publisher Don Graham’s firm Graham Holdings.
For the handful of freelance pieces I’ve sold to my old shop since then (such as the Jan. 28, 2019 opinion piece headlined “Big tech firms still don’t care about your privacy”), I’ve used the Employer Identification Number I obtained shortly after I started freelancing.
Yet apparently my SSN was still sitting unencrypted in a network-accessible database last summer, contrary to basic security advice, along with the digits of thousands of other current and former Post employees and contractors. Some had banking details compromised too.
That’s “thousands” as in 9,720 people, per a filing the Post made with Maine’s Attorney General in November that a few security publications covered at the time. A month later, a former Post employee named Jun Hee Kim filed a class-action lawsuit against the Post on behalf of those nearly 10,000 individuals.
I have yet to get a notice inviting me to join that class, and the Post’s letter does not mention the litigation. Instead, it offers the usual paltry remedy of a year of identity-theft monitoring, in this case from a firm called IDX.
I know that’s the standard act of apology not only from covering data breaches but from having my data exposed in them, over and over. I know the drill well enough to have turned “Equifax” into the verb “Equifaxed” and to have frozen my credit more than once.
So at some level, I’m not surprised at the news of the Post’s data breach so much as I’m surprised that it took this long. Throughout my time working at 15th and L, I saw the Post treat SSNs as carelessly as anybody else did decades ago–even using them as employee IDs, as seen in some of my own admin paperwork from early in this century showing the full nine digits. But it’s still stupid and sloppy that this particular data breach happened not in 2005 or 2015 but in 2025, well past the point when management at the Post should have known better.

The Post didn't explicitly state the one important fact of the story: they haven't seen McConnell alive either. They are literally just passing on, unconfirmed, what they were told by McConnell's office.

Newspaper withdrawal at the breakfast table
Mornings haven’t been quite the same around the house since Feb. 26–the last one that started with a print copy of the Washington Post landing somewhere near our front walk, making less of a thud than it once did, sometime before dawn.
That marked the end of a streak of Post home delivery that had run decades, going back to my first apartments out of college in Arlington and D.C. The wanton destruction of much of my old newsroom, followed by my seeing the sad results of Jeff Bezos’s act of civic vandalism and then facing an imminent renewal of our print subscription, pushed me to terminate that streak–in sorrow, not anger.
(The Post’s site didn’t even offer me a discount on my way out.)
Since then, the demise of a daily habit of analog news reading has left me with a breakfast-table problem: What do I read instead to ensure I still start the day by informing myself? Ideally, without bringing a touchscreen device to the table?
One early answer had been collecting dust on other household surfaces: the print magazines we get.
I’m one of the many people who subscribed to Wired in early 2025 in appreciation of that publication’s outstanding coverage of the Trump administration’s abuses of power. But until the dead-tree edition of the Post wasn’t occupying space on the breakfast table, I let copies of that magazine pile up.
We also have back issues of such other print mags as the Air & Space Museum’s Air & Space quarterly and the UVA and Georgetown alumni magazines my wife and I get. I’ve been reminded that they’re worth reading with a morning coffee–among other things, I now know that the coffee company I keep buying from at Costco was founded by another Hoya.
And there’s a slightly less-portable form of printed media, books. My current read is my Post friend Sara Kehaulani Goo’s memoir Kuleana, in which she unpacks her Hawaiian heritage and her family’s struggles to hold on to the last of some ancestral land.
If I must turn to a touchscreen, I’ve realized that my digital reading should be one of the most newspaper-like forms of online publishing, RSS. Catching up with favorite sites via that online-syndication format seems healthier than flipping over to social media.
I can also read the Washington Post on the web or in its Android or iPad apps–my Arlington and D.C. library cards provide free online access, notwithstanding the occasional glitch renewing that freebie. And yet I don’t turn to what I think of as my alma mater of journalism as often as I did when I paid for it. I feel a little bad about that.

Mornings haven’t been quite the same around the house since Feb. 26–the last one that started with a print copy of the Washington Post landing somewhere near our front walk, making less of a thud than it once did, sometime before dawn.
That marked the end of a streak of Post home delivery that had run decades, going back to my first apartments out of college in Arlington and D.C. The wanton destruction of much of my old newsroom, followed by my seeing the sad results of Jeff Bezos’s act of civic vandalism and then facing an imminent renewal of our print subscription, pushed me to terminate that streak–in sorrow, not anger.
(The Post’s site didn’t even offer me a discount on my way out.)
Since then, the demise of a daily habit of analog news reading has left me with a breakfast-table problem: What do I read instead to ensure I still start the day by informing myself? Ideally, without bringing a touchscreen device to the table?
One early answer had been collecting dust on other household surfaces: the print magazines we get.
I’m one of the many people who subscribed to Wired in early 2025 in appreciation of that publication’s outstanding coverage of the Trump administration’s abuses of power. But until the dead-tree edition of the Post wasn’t occupying space on the breakfast table, I let copies of that magazine pile up.
We also have back issues of such other print mags as the Air & Space Museum’s Air & Space quarterly and the UVA and Georgetown alumni magazines my wife and I get. I’ve been reminded that they’re worth reading with a morning coffee–among other things, I now know that the coffee company I keep buying from at Costco was founded by another Hoya.
And there’s a slightly less-portable form of printed media, books. My current read is my Post friend Sara Kehaulani Goo’s memoir Kuleana, in which she unpacks her Hawaiian heritage and her family’s struggles to hold on to the last of some ancestral land.
If I must turn to a touchscreen, I’ve realized that my digital reading should be one of the most newspaper-like forms of online publishing, RSS. Catching up with favorite sites via that online-syndication format seems healthier than flipping over to social media.
I can also read the Washington Post on the web or in its Android or iPad apps–my Arlington and D.C. library cards provide free online access, notwithstanding the occasional glitch renewing that freebie. And yet I don’t turn to what I think of as my alma mater of journalism as often as I did when I paid for it. I feel a little bad about that.

I do not GAF who #KenGriffin is in real life or the fact that he made a ton of money through being a hedge fund manager. That's that job where basically you play with other people's money and come out stinking rich on the other side.
The editors at the #WashingtonPost have forgotten their journalistic past. They have mostly forgotten what it means to take a stand and call out assholes such as Donald Trump for being the greed monsters and terrible people that they are.
It was #BobWoodward and #CarlBernstein at the Post who helped expose the unethical and seedy side of #American politics. It was those two reporters along with several other writers at national newspapers during the seventies who helped in bringing about the downfall of President Richard #Nixon.
The new WaPo editors and owner have completely forgotten this history and why people today are tired of the ultra-rich behaving like extortionists. For the Post to come to the defense of Griffin as if unfettered capitalism always came first in every instance is really disingenuous and absolutely misleading.
Jeff Bezos' bold greed and his awful brand are really on display here. Bezos owns the Washington Post. Bezos always was a hack who drove a lot of independent American book publishers and also book stores out of business when Amazon was founded. The transition point started when Amazon started selling books and launched the online Kindle book selling service. The point of starting Kindle was to strategically and financially undercut all of the brick-and-mortar book stores. This was also billionaire Sam Walton's ruthless strategy: Walmart was single-handedly responsible for putting many smaller mom-and-pop retail stores across the Midwest and the rest of America out of business during the late 1980's and 1990's.
PS - See the blue backdrop in the photo of Ken Griffin? #MichaelMilken who founded Drexel Burnham Lambert was the low-life businessman who was *the* junk bond king during the 1980's. Gen X'ers: remember the Savings & Loan scandals that made their way to US Congress? That was Milken and his cronies (see the image in my comments that briefly explains how that occurred). The financier Michael Milken was PARDONED by Donald #Trump in 2020.
These people are all on the same payroll. They are avaricious beyond reproach. That just means people such as #Bezos are so greedy and that they've lost touch with reality to the point where they will run over everybody to procure even more money for their off-shore accounts.

New York Mayor #Zohran #Mamdani has been scrambling to come up with money to fund a major expansion of city government, and he has put the politics of envy at the center of his effort. This is bound to be a fiscal failure, but it’s already a moral one.
The conversations animating the Editorial Board, delivered to your inbox every TuesdayLast month, the social-media-savvy socialist filmed a video outside the New York home of billionaire Ken Griffin. He told viewers who lived there and declared, “We’re taxing the rich.” Why pick on the hedge fund manager?
The mayor didn’t accuse Griffin of violating any laws or even dodging taxes. His only crime was owning a nice penthouse — that is, being a successful person. Griffin said Tuesday that the video was “creepy and weird.” It was also unethical.
“He seems to have forgotten that the CEO of another American company was assassinated just blocks from where I live in New York,” the Citadel chief executive noted, referencing the assassination of #UnitedHealthcare ’s #BrianThompson in December 2024.
Luigi Mangione, awaiting trial for that premeditated murder, has inspired copycat violence aimed at the affluent. New court filings allege that the Los Angeles man charged with starting last year’s deadly Palisades Fire was also motivated by Mangione. When investigators asked him why someone might commit arson, he “responded that it would be out of resentment of the rich enjoying their money,” prosecutors say.
Mamdani’s office said the mayor wants “all New Yorkers to succeed” and that this is about reforming the tax code. Yet such an egregious video isn’t about a good-faith debate over fiscal policy. It’s about vilifying Griffin.
To class warriors like Mamdani, success in a capitalist economy is akin to theft. Entrepreneurs don’t provide services for their customers; they steal from them and spend the money on themselves while others suffer. This is the opposite of reality...
