Jesus Christmas. Honestly, how many more times can they steal my ID? It's gotten so they have to run a diff to see if there's anything new.
Aaron Swartz faced 35 years in prison for leaking JSTOR articles. Instead of fines, the Chief Security Officer should be fully responsible and face 35 years in jail if a breach happens. You better believe they'll care about security then. Many companies would also rethink whether they need to track and keep personal information at all.
In Swartz case, prosecutor was trying to make example of him because his public University made/is making tons of money for providing information that should be free (or already is)
In this case, I would imagine they want peoples info to be leaked and exposed as much as possible, just to have a good reason to fine those for-profit private companies.
Edit: in other words - show me a priest who doesn't want you to sin, or a cop who doesn't want you to break the law, or a doctor who is not fine with people getting sick. Otherwise they would all be out of job.
It's not a breach when it's openly accessible. It's a leak and nothing else.
Earlier quoted context omitted.
By that extension if a McDonald's drive thru employee accidentally spills hot coffee on a customer, the CEO is responsible and should be charged with assault?
Is that grossly negligent? No. Is keeping the coffee excessively hot for cost reasons, thereby causing the customer to receive third degree burns on their genitals and winning in court? Yes. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liebeck_v._McDonald%27s_Rest... Your culture is set by your leadership. Make good choices.
I make coffee nearly every morning by boiling water in a tea kettle and pouring it over coffee grounds in a Melitta filter. If I poured or spilled it on my genitals, that would be bad. Doesn't make an approximately 200F temperature incorrect though.[1]

Aaron Swartz faced 35 years in prison for breaking and entering and unauthorized access of a computer network / hacking amongst other things. It's a shame it ended the way it did, but please don't downplay what he did and use his name to push an agenda.
Is that true? It was an unlocked closet. The walls were covered in graffiti.

A- This is infuriating B- How can a company have such a bad response? I think just about every big company has put a huge emphasis on data security. But hey, companies are big and technology is complex, so maybe data leaks still happen. But when they do, how can you treat them with such a lack of care? And how can the director of Security be alerted about this and not fix it? Seems potentially criminally negligent? c…

Well, at least they didn't leak their customers' HIV statuses, unlike the other security breach I read about yesterday...
