I don't understand why people villinize Facebook and Google so much. If anything, they've done a fantastic job at data security. They explicitly hire security engineers and even offer bug bounties for potential issues, treating security as a priority. I mention this all the time: What scares me is companies in the wild that consider security as a burden rather than something core to their business. We see companies even actively punishing people for finding issues in their software and going through responsible disclosure. This sort of response should be outlawed. Equifax's breach is just a drop in the bucket compared to all the other breaches less well known companies experienced in the past. Like hey, some obscure pay system at Home Depot got hacked and someone stole my credit card, but fuck Google for tracking me online. We have this "too small to care" mentality about these business committing horrifying security transgressions until it's too late.
