    Not surprising. I wouldn’t be surprised if at some point every person in the US will have been affected by data breaches.

      That is very likely already the case, let’s be serious here. Our companies, especially the ones with really firm mono- or duopolies, give absolutely no fucks about protecting citizen data, they just have insurance to cover the damages.

          You’re right about cyber insurance, I wasn’t thinking about that, and should have put insurance in quotes.

          What I was referring to is when they just set aside some money for the inevitable lawsuit or fine, and do nothing about it.
