Evidence shows that in the vast majority of cases (home depot, target, psn, jp morgan etc) they do no such thing.
Chipotle is getting people sick, people don't like to be sick. Uber, the above mentioned breaches, and the GP were talking about their data. People don't care about that, hence companies face no real penalty for not protecting data.
- raiyu 10y agoThat's the point I was making. That for most consumers a security breach isn't viewed the same as an E.Coli outbreak. Although the likelihood of you catching E.Coli is less than 1% the resulting impact was huge. Meanwhile like you mentioned there have been a number of large retailers where your likelihood of having your data compromised was well over 50% and people didn't react at all.
