'The $20.8 million "first call" was for 3.2 million "units" of credit monitoring and identity theft recovery services'
At seven bucks a piece, this seems very cheap, especially for a rushed government purchase. Any thoughts? Am I missing something?
- sqeaky 11y agoIt will likely be one or a few larger forensic investigations. I would wager that a team of a dozen experts or so will start one big investigation calling in other help as needed. In one big windfall they will determine how 80% or more of the data was taken. Then whatever is left will be handled on a case by case basis. Likely the Unit thing was done to make the bureaucracy that pays for things happy. I have worked places where a 1,000 payments of $1 each was easy to make happen than one $600 purchase.
