At what point do we, as a society, decide a company is just too incapable of security to remain in control of consumer data? theverge.com/2023/5/2/23707894

@ocdtrekkie I gotta be honest, never seen it happen yet.

I got a letter some years back letting me know my information had been stolen from a part-time job I had in high school as a movie theater usher. The vector of information loss? Dudes busted into the warehouse containing pallets of employee tax records and made off with one from a decade and a half ago.

@mtomczak I mean at least that required some sort of actual physical breach. T-Mobile just doesn't seem to even lock the dang doors.

@ocdtrekkie Yeah. It would be nice if the law caught up and treated "Gathering everyone's info and then putting it in a big pile with a sign that says 'please steal me'" as, I don't know, some kind of "negligence" or other.
