Well there be any consequences for the company?


No. And hence this will keep happening.


Even if there are, it’ll be minuscule compared to what is necessary to drive effective change.

The fine for one person’s information from this site should be equivalent to their entire revenue for the year; should not be permitted to be resolved by bankruptcy, and should be required to transfer to any company purchasing their assets.

Their entire executive team should be jailed for a minimum of 3 years per individual offense.

Only then will there be any modicum of an opportunity for us to see some real change.

This is so over the top reactionary and stupid, I can't help but write off your entire comment.

You want the Chief Accounting Officer to go to jail for 3 decades because of a data breach?


I assumed there was more than 10 folks impacted by their poor business decisions; based on the number of images of SS cards, it should be life without parole. Preferably with hard labor in Siberia or western Nebraska.


> or western Nebraska.

Now you've taken it too far.


Maybe 5y


Your proposal is so bizarrely out of proportion with the harm caused that I can’t tell if it’s parody or not. Why not execute them while you’re at it?


That would be cruel and unusual — their families and friends would needlessly suffer. They'll need to be executed too.


I recommend we summarily execute people who don’t use the middle lane to go straight at an intersection, blocking everyone else from turning right on red; I feel as if jail time for these executives was pretty reasonable.


This is not so firm. Don't underestimate a wealthy person's medical record going public.
