#62What I don't see in this article, is how can I (as an EasyJet customer) check if my data was breached?

#63Earlier quoted context omitted.
This reminds me of "identity theft". Someone didn't steal my identity, someone stole from the bank using my identity. It should really be called "bank fraud".
A great sketch about this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CS9ptA3Ya9E

#64The number one reason I do not keep CC info, and why I don't fill out details wherever I can.
I don't trust your security.

#66What a stupid headline. Just a blatant falsehood in the title of the article. Why are journalists (still) so bad at this?
Clickbait titles is the new journo

#67EasyJet was the one hacked, the customers got their information stolen from the hack but were not themselves hacked.

Unless you are being sued by the bank as the one who stole the money and this happens in another country and the time to claim your innocence is out. Then it’s you who suffers the fraud, not the bank :/ (talking from personal experience of a close friend)

#68I just logged in to change my easyJet password:
> Your password must be a single word between 6 and 20 characters in length and must not include the special characters # & + or space.
Come on! This is ridiculous. If you're going to get hacked at least have a sane password policy.

I recon the more sensationalist they make the title and article the better. It doesn’t matter that it is technically inaccurate. It balances out the typically false response from these companies which usually starts with “We take the security of our customers data very seriously...”
Would it help to see a more "honest" letter of apology from a company? What would that look like?

#70So I just went to easyjet.com and logged in and they don’t prompt to update my password. I wonder if failure to invalidate all accounts is their technical ignorance or if my account was simply not hacked? I assume the ignorance of course.
