They are not. Just don't collect the data in the first place.
- the_snooze 7y ago21st century tech companies: "If we fuck up, too bad for you." All the profits, none of the responsibility.
- Ididntdothis 7y agoThat’s the whole idea behind the term “identity theft”. They are too cheap to set up proper systems so let’s just move the problem to the customer.
- NortySpock 7y agoThe proper title is, of course, "identity fraud" or "bank fraud" at a bank, where the fault is on the part of the bank to prove that you are you, not on the consumer to "protect" their information that someone else lost.
- bilekas 7y agoI agree that this behaviour should not be 'normalized' ever, its not acceptable. I find it hard to justify that companies should not collect any data.. It should just be the minimum required. Such as GDPR attempts. It's so frustrating that there is no recourse usually. Organising class action suits just takes too long to co-ordinate in a timely fasion that would point a larger spotlight on security.
