I'm going to proudly wear my tin hat and argue two things:
"We're expected to be so outraged by the "what" that we don't realize they should be able to piece together at least some patterns to the 'why' and 'who'"
"At this point its safe to safe the average person's personal info is not only readily available online but to those even slightly interested in malicious activity"

SSG Derek Scheller, SSgt Mark Lines, and SN Greg Wright, how far out of line do you think I am?

Some patterns? No. PRECISELY who. No matter how good a hacker you are, governmental actors can always find out who you are. Getting you might be another thing. And yeah...I don't even sweat it anymore. My info is out there. Nothing I can do about it. My protection lies in the herd: with billions of us online, the chances that /I/ get personally hit are extremely low.

SN Greg Wright - I was trying to be nice. You're right, though. At this point its simply defending what you have.

SGT (Join to see) It is breaches like this, Yahoo, and Equifax that will cause a change in the laws on how your personal data is handled. There is a movement right now to have the same standards that doctors and lawyers have to follow, the Hipaa Omnibus Rule of 2013, or similar standards to be applied to ALL businesses that collect personal data.. It provides a template of what needs to be done to secure the data, how and when a notification of a data breach goes out, and who is ultimately liable in the case of a data breach.
