That happened in 2023
> In response to the incident, Eugen Rochko, the founder of Mastodon, pointed out that the FBI conducted a raid on one of the admins of kolektiva.social for unrelated charges. During the raid, the admin had a backup of the kolektiva.social database on one of their personal digital devices at home, which is not considered a recommended practice.
@ePD5qRxX Where in the article does it say that users were not notified of the breach? Is this article the first time users of kolektiva heard about it? @starlight

I don't know what the source for the three months is

I just remembered the story and looked up a link. -

I just remembered the story and looked up a link.@ePD5qRxX It's a pretty serious story and would make someone like me trust kolektiva.social much less if it was true. On the other hand, it could look like bad rumours if there wasn't some kind of evidence. @starlight

I'm a user. I was not notified. I was on here every single day in May, and most days since. I heard about the breach two minutes ago.

@LevZadov Oops, that makes me a bit worried to hear. Sounds like something to get some perspective from kolektiva mods on. Tagging #KolektivaMod hoping to hear what happened here. Did you notice your users of this breach? @ePD5qRxX @starlight

I'm not a mod. I'm not an admin. I'm just a lowly content provider. I just heard about it myself. I immediately notified my followers, etc. here in this thread.
It's disturbing news, but not at all unexpected.

@LevZadov Just reading through the thread now for answers. Stumbled upon this. Seems like you just heard about it - again. And forgot the first time

I had totally forgotten. It must be a side effect of my stroke. Or maybe it's my age. Sorry. The spirit is willing but the mind is weak.

@Bluabirdo Thanks, this is what I was looking for. And already we learn one thing. Kolektiva mods didn't wait three months before notifying their users like @starlight said. But they did wait one and a half month. That's a long time and begs the question why they did it. The ask the question themselves in the post, and mention they've talked with movement lawyers, but I can't see the answer. Why did #KolektivaMod team wait to tell about the breach?
