Because shutting down 100 credit cards has more reputation and monetary liability than shutting one down?
You're basically saying "academics can derive your social security number using public information!" And wondering why they don't reissue all of the SSNs...
- joshuamorton 10y agoSo? When a website has its passwords stolen (even just the hashed, salted ones) the immediate step is to invalidate every password potentially compromised and force users to reset them. Doesn't matter how or why the passwords were lost, you start by mitigating the damage someone can do. Why isn't the response for when credit card information (which is very often more valuable) is stolen similar? >You're basically saying "academics can derive your social security number using public information!" No, I'm saying that if my name, social, DoB, mother's maiden name, and credit card number appear online in a csv file with 200 other people's personal information, I'd really appreciate it if my credit card company would take proactive steps to keep my accounts secure.
