THE author of DataBreaches.net discusses their firm’s experience with legal threats, particularly in light of recent injunctions issued by the High Court of Singapore regarding a data breach involving Global Schools Holdings Pte. Ltd. DataBreaches was put "on notice" about these injunctions but argues that it has no jurisdiction over them since they operate out of the U.S. They emphasize that broad legal language from the injunction could threaten journalistic freedom and press responsibilities.
The blog's legal counsel has responded to the law firm's concerns, affirming that DataBreaches will not comply with the injunctions. Overall, the piece aims to clarify misconceptions about legal jurisdiction and warns other small outlets about the implications of legal threats.
