Another week, another letter telling me about a “privacy event” (aka data breach).
Here's a simple way to fix this problem: legislation that says every customer who's affected gets a check for $100. No more of this check-your-credit weak sauce - instead, a real cost to the business.
If you have data on 100 million customers, paying out $10 BILLION is a hell of an incentive to keep your fucking data protected.
Or better yet, maybe it's not worth $100 to store it in the first place…
