Star Citizen lore

An in-game book mentions that on the 25th of May 2945 a community manager at StarCitizen:Original Systems, to highlight the upcoming space simulator StarCitizen:Arena Commander, had released an image with part of a unique ID, which was reconstructed by the public, with highly sensitive data catalogued and shared across StarCitizen:spectrum within minutes. The book says that the most impenetrable cyber security practices all contain the same vulnerability, human error. Even partial or incomplete information can be dangerous and training as well as regular reminders are necessary. The book is orange, which might be a reference to The Rainbow Series of books about computer security standards and guidelines.<ref>Rainbow Series, Federation of American Scientists</ref>
