AT&T stock has already bounced back from much of the initial -2.6% drop this morning, so the market thinks AT&T is immune. Meanwhile Snowflake is -3.9% down (they have many other customers than AT&T). https://www.marketwatch.com/investing/stock/T https://www.marketwatch.com/investing/stock/SNOW

You can have a financial manager control your accounts for you and just keep a small checking account, (plus they'll help you grow your balances) but they're not free. Well, they're not free if you want them to be unbiased. Given, what's going to keep them from getting scammed? Maybe what you're looking for is several safe deposit boxes.
I still want my money invested into the economy. I just want Chase/Fidelity/etc to have an understanding that I am never going to withdraw money from these accounts without planning for it. So, “I” should never be authorized to drain the account at a moments notice without extensive approval. Anything to cause friction for would be scammers and only once-a-year (?) pain from me to triply confirm the money can move.

What do you think would have happened to him if he had stayed here? The last whistleblower the US government got to was imprisoned for seven years and identifies as a woman now. Snowden would be crazy to come anywhere near the US.
Be nice to have a new federal law: you get breached, you pay $5K plus lifetime credit monitoring to each person involved. Non-dischargeable by bankruptcy. No arbitration, no lawsuit. You pay.
And earlier this year my ssn was on the dark web due to their leak (or vendor). One year of monitoring? No, I’m going to need it for life. Security is not a concern. There is no real incentive to change the status quo. Make them pay for monitoring indefinitely .
Freeze your credit people! It's super easy. It's not a perfect fix but it's so trivial to do and it will help. https://www.usa.gov/credit-freeze You can unfreeze through an app whenever you want/need to.
i don’t think credit freezing matters too much in this case because the leak wasn’t tied to SSN, name, etc. that would be used for identity theft. it was phone call and location data. much worse for privacy but less useful for financial fraud.

@dang Could I ask why this topic gets systematically penalized in the HN ranking? There have been 15 submissions so far, I assume partly because previous submissions are not shown on the main page so HN users keep re-submitting it. This topic is both newsworthy and high interest. (I was going to link to the 14 other submissions but the list is too long and it'd just come across as obnoxious.)
