    Oh so that’s why they’re asking me to change my password just to check my bill. Because the language on the page was “we regularly perform security audits to help protect you, so please change your password now” and doesn’t mention the breach at all.

    My shit’s been stolen like 50 times in the past two years. It’s got to be worthless by this point.

        The best information to collect is no information at all, and the second best information to collect is as little as possible to make the service work.

          But how can they turn the customer info and behaviour into revenue if they don’t collect it? Won’t someone think of the bottom line?! /s

    This shit will not stop until people (execs who fail to dot their Ts and do the OWASP audits) go to jail for it.

    Meh

    At this point (actually more like a decade ago but…): Lock down your SSN with every bureau and get identity theft insurance. Hell, you probably already have identity theft insurance since the “Ha ha, you can’t sue us” response from most companies is a complimentary year or two and you likely get your data stolen at least twice a year.

    I always expect current year to be the year when filing taxes is a hassle because somebody else already did it but it hasn’t happened yet. And the rest is just background noise.

      I mean, when it’s literally the only option you have…

      I remember when I first moved here I even called Verizon first. The rep told me, plain and flatout, that comcast, his competitor, was who I had to call, and there was no other provider in my area.
