Considering the normal situation is they receive no actual notice at all from most breaches and find out through the news if they are lucky I would say the very absence of disclosure is the true nightmare. You usually find out a year later when the data appears on the dark web and is then pulled into something like haveIbeenpwned.com.
- bogomipz 9y agoYes agreed and of course Experian has now starting using the existence of people's data on the dark web as another revenue stream See: http://securityaffairs.co/wordpress/64043/deep-web/experian-dark-web-tracking-service.html http://securityaffairs.co/wordpress/64043/deep-web/experian-... From the article: >"By using the “Free Dark Web Email Scan” a user will receive advertisements for Experian products at the e-mail address that is being scanned. The user agreement includes a clause which states that not only will Experian send you advertisements, but “offers for available credit cards, loan options, financial products or services, or credit-related products or services and other offers to customers.” It's like a vertically integrated criminal syndicate.
