    My first thought was, who the fuck names their kid “Data”.

    Then I realized there is a local radio personality named Oedipus, and I always thought what kind of parent names their kid that.

    But then I remembered that that, is in fact, a stage name.

    But I don’t think you can use stage names in the military?

    So maybe they are NB and this was their chosen name? But I don’t think thd military would really go for that, let alone put them on TV (though I have no doubts that the best cyber security researchers out there are, in fact, queer).

    So now I’m just more confused about everything.

      We don’t know this persons name, the tagline is the news headline not this persons name, it’s about an actual data breach

      Probably the closest thing to this point that exists, would be callsigns for pilots. But yeah, the image is a joke about a news headline.
