I wonder if we're desensitized too. The TMobile breach in 2021 was upwards of 100 million. Full SSN, date of birth, driver's licenses. It was discussed here but really not much outcry considering the size and quality of the data that was pilfered.

Is there a law in the U.S. requiring telecoms to collect such information? Yet there's no law requiring purge of old customer data, with affected people not having been customers in years.
