Many of you may not know, But most recently, even Domino's Pizza (India) had a breach and they kept denying it ever happened until the hackers finally made a search engine where anyone could search through the entire database. And Domino's finally released some statement in some obscure part of their website. NONE of the users who were affected were notified directly. Many even don't know that this happened. What's worse is the data contained your precise house location and location data in general with co-ordinates. So, the hackers know your phone, your address, where you live, where you go to, been to and how much you're actually worth. It has been claimed financial data (credit cards) were stolen as well, but Domino's denies it till date and of course no one should trust them, given their history.
So, in essence, this LinkedIn breach is also the same to me. Companies literally make you an attack target for hackers and don't even bother telling you. I don't know about you guys, I haven't received a single email from LinkedIn about this yet. How can we combat this dangerous behaviour of companies hiding their incompetencies from their customers? I thought of litigation and I almost sued Domino's, but who am I kidding? These cases could go on for years while they keep making people attack targets of hackers. And add to that corruption, and other variables. I don't know of what could be done to such companies. Boycotting helps, but imagine, more than half your customers don't know why the rest are boycotting and that's in your favor.
