Then enjoy when data breached like this happened. It’s clear that companies don’t really care much about safeguarding your data since all they get for punishment is just them having to pay the likes of McAffee for a year or two, and that’s about it. The customers would just get an apology while the same people are still taking the same money, if not more.If you care a lot about your privacy, yes, you can do prepaid without them knowing anything about you. I don't care enough, though.
More like there should be a demand for some heads, especially the CEO, to roll when there are high profile breaches like this. Since nobody in the company are held accountable, they’re just going to do the bare minimum to satisfy short term PR while everything else is business as usual. I mean they don’t even go into details on what happened or what are they going to fix. They just apologize and made empty promises, and apparently that’s good enough.I think in the case of data breaches that could result in personal information that these companies should be required to pay/provide lifetime support be it lifelock, etc. not just a measly couple years. personal information is usually sat on after being stollen because the bad people know it will go into lockdown. So they hang on to it fit a couple years after people feel all comfortable and relaxed and have stopped blocking/monitoring.
also why do SSN/TIN basically less secure than a library card number? I feel like we can find a better way.
Yes, I will enjoy it getting breached. It already has been in ways I couldn't prevent, and so has yours probably.Then enjoy when data breached like this happened.

It'd be hypocritical for the govt to fine companies for data breaches, given how often their own systems are hacked. Let alone how much private info they give away intentionally (e.g. if you've registered to vote, anyone can find the address, phone #, and party affiliation you used). I would like to see this happen if it went both ways, but that's unlikely.I think in the case of data breaches that could result in personal information that these companies should be required to pay/provide lifetime support be it lifelock, etc. not just a measly couple years. personal information is usually sat on after being stollen because the bad people know it will go into lockdown.
