"While such injunctions are ineffective in stopping criminals from sharing, leaking, selling, or misusing the data, they may have a chilling effect on a free press and reporting on the breaches, and not necessarily just in the country where the injunction was issued. A recent post on SuspectFile provides a painful but instructive example of how a court injunction from a high court in the U.K. not only affected an Italian journalist's reporting on one incident,"
A survey from DataBreaches.net and Zack Whittaker collects accounts of threats experienced by security researchers and cybersecurity journalists, including legal process and threats of violence by cybercriminals. The survey is available at https://forms.gle/ and runs until January 18. Recent reporting notes an FBI search of Washington Post reporter Hannah Natanson's home and commentary on threats to independent media and free speech. Breached organizations increasingly seek court injunctions to prevent downloading or sharing of breached data. Such injunctions do not stop criminals but can chill press reporting across borders. A SuspectFile post describes a U.K. injunction's lasting emotional and reporting impact on an Italian journalist.
