- danielweber 11y agoAt least the victims are getting letters. Corporations are required to do it, but governments often exempt themselves from the same employment and data handling requirements they place on business.
- haxeny1 11y agothe article seems to suggest that the hackers had access to stolen data, Target comes to mind within the US. Did Target share the hacked data to the FBI so the feds can cross check with the data irs released and send the offending company the bill before we pick up the pieces. Can the federal government legally do it since the statute of liability has not expired yet? "Is there a lawyer in the house?" If the hackers had access to data outside the US, then it may have to be us the taxpayers, unfortunately.
