> The federation's CEO and president, Guy Cormier, said the security breach is not the result of a cyberattack, but the work of an employee who improperly accessed and shared the information. > That employee has been fired. > Cormier said he felt "betrayed" by the former employee's actions. Fired? How about arrested?

Letsee, 5 minutes of wasted time per impacted client (and that’s just to interpret and ignore the notice) * 2.9 million people = 28 years of life lost by one action. Basically a murder in terms of aggregate impact.

  Wasting 10s of 5 billion people's time = 1585 years of life or 27 lives, but I think most would agree killing 27 people is far worse. You can't really equate the two.

    These comparisons happen all the time in government. Do you get more value out of spending $1m (ie: 100 000 person hours of taxes at $10/hr) on saving a few people's lives through improving a highway's safety, through a vaccination program, or an exercise program? Or just let people keep an extra $10, take an hour off work, and lose 0.0003% of their life (on average!) by increasing their risk of harm in a highway collision?

  Lol with that logic most developers who implement an annoying pop up banner subscription/greeting chain combo on a high traffic site are committing an action equal to murder
