This is ridiculous. Does anyone have any insight into how these security breaches keep happening? Is it rampant carelessness on the part of the companies, some new technology that's opening a significant number of new exploits, or is it an escalation on the efforts/persistence of hackers?

Software is imperfect, and therefore vulnerable, and it's also pervasive. Data for all our providers will probably be compromised. It's not if, but when. We need to make plain facts, like name, address, birthday and, ssn, less valuable.

Extremely shitty software and a very yolo attitude to keeping data on you private. The core business is making money off of you. Not protecting you.
