> make one of these companies truly pay for their gross negligence.

I think our whole industry is rotten and we need to drastically rethink a lot of what we do. This is unacceptable and it shouldn't be this hard. We need a reckoning.



We might, but until average person does not consider it an issue ( and Equifax breach[2] proved it is merely cost of doing business[1] -- ~400 million out of $3,362 million profit in 2017 ), it will not be an issue. I am annoyed, but I have been annoyed for a long time. I am just waiting for the rest of the non-technical people to catch up, because it eventually should. But then... I am an optimist.
