- cameronbrown 7y agoThe damage to each individual is incalculable. Their company should just be dissolved and split between everyone affected at this point. Giving them a fine even close to the amount of economic damage they did would already be the end of the company.

- MereInterest 7y agoWhy? Breaches like Equifax happen when companies treat data, especially personal data, as an asset rather than a liability. Treat their database as the toxic asset that it is, and delete it as part of the bankruptcy.
- buzzerbetrayed 7y agoThen what do you sell? You can’t sell the company and distribute the money to the affected people if you make the company worthless first.
- cameronbrown 7y agoThey've already shown themselves to be terrible stewards of that data. If it was sold due to their bankruptcy then whoever buys it is going to be much more careful about losing any of it.
