Wish they named them. Usually I don't recommend it. But the combination of:

A) in EU; GDPR will trump whatever BS they want to try B) no confirmation affected users were notified C) aggro threats D) nonsensical threats, sourced to Data Privacy Officer w/seemingly 0 scruples and little experience

Due to B), there's a strong responsibility rationale.

Due to rest, there's a strong name and shame rationale. Sort of equivalent to a bad Yelp review for a restaurant, but for SaaS.

Dan Europe has a flow as discussed in the article and both the foundation and the regulated insurance branch is registered in Malta.

EU GDPR has very little enforcement. So while the regulation in theory prevents that, in practice you can just ignore it. If you're lucky a token fine comes up years down the line.
