Optus and Medicare in Australia have recently had major breaches and the fallout in public opinion is still going on.
A panel on the news was interesting; one person likened data to uranium - dangerous to hold and difficult to dispose of. The other likened it to the new gold.
It'll be nice when legislation tightens up to minimize the latter feeling.

In fact we had to come up with and follow some very detailed procedures to dispose of it.
