Data Breach Dream

Tonight I had a strange dream. Time to write it down, before I forget it.

I was sitting at work, listening to a presentation a coworker was presenting. The door opened and four police officers got inside. I wasn’t thinking anything bad when they were asking for my name.

The arrived at my desk and asked me a few questions about my freelance business and if I was responsible for a certain customer. Still not knowing what was going on, they told me that there was a data breach at that customer and that I was held accountable for it.

They also told me I need to follow them. I think I knew two of the men from a former paramedic operation with them.

Fast forward. I was sitting in a strange courtroom. I think my brain didn’t know how one looked and made up a pretty strange looking one. The judge was sitting on one side, and I was sitting sideways elevated. Almost like I was sitting in a stadium on the spectator ranks.

One of the officers handed me the breached data. Then I remember only one thought: “it can’t be that bad”.

I woke up. I can’t find any real sense in it. I know the customer had problems with a malware some time ago, but a data breach?
