So I got a notice from Ticketmaster that my identity was accessed by an intruder and my name, contact info and /encrypted/ payment info was compromised. These notices are more and more common. Why aren’t companies accountable for damages when they fail to protect all the myriad data they collect on people without consent? I never asked them to store these things…

    Same question - why aren’t businesses responsible for maintaining enough security, with damages due for those whose information they misplace.

    Was it a stupid question?

      You asked about beaches, so are you interested in how they form geologically, which ones are good for surfing, or just looking for a sunbathing destination?

      The person you replied to was joking based on your typo.
