Shein Owner Fined $1.9 Million For Failing To Notify 39 Million Users of Data Breach (techcrunch.com) 5
Zoetop, the firm that owns Shein and its sister brand Romwe, has been fined (PDF) $1.9 million by New York for failing to properly disclose a data breach from 2018. TechCrunch reports: A cybersecurity attack that originated in 2018 resulted in the theft of 39 million Shein account credentials, including those of more than 375,000 New York residents, according to the AG's announcement. An investigation by the AG's office found that Zoetop only contacted "a fraction" of the 39 million compromised accounts, and for the vast majority of the users impacted, the firm failed to even alert them that their login credentials had been stolen. The AG's office also concluded that Zoetop's public statements about the data breach were misleading. In one instance, the firm falsely stated that only 6.42 million consumers had been impacted and that it was in the process of informing all the impacted users.

Shein? (Score:2)
I'd never heard of them, but apparently they're a chinese "fashion company" that does unashamed knockoffs of western stuff and gets regularly sued [wikipedia.org]. So, basically, standard chinese company practice (alledgedly, ofcourse).
Nobody cares (Score:2)
There is no sense in publishing this in English and expecting anybody to care, or to know who these companies are.
This is Chinese-only story.
You won't find people who care in Spanish, German, French, Japanese, Ukrainian, Swedish, Nederlands, or Korea-language publications, either.

Ahh. Two problems. Your parser settings are broken and you are also using the wrong parsing function. That's a noun clause not a sentence (note the comma after that text in the OP), so you probably either need to call the function for searching for fragments, or possibly set a flag tell the parser not to look for a whole sentence, depending on the API. Also, I suggest adjusting the probability bias for treating unknown symbols that start with a capital letter as proper nouns; without that the pattern search will be too slow and might time out. If that doesn't work, please switch on debugging and post a log file.
