I love how companies say no credit card data was leaked, and don't admit that everything else know to the company including client and employee PII data was there. All of these sorts of things can be turned into money including blackmail and identity theft.


And cc data is the very least important thing. Banks are required by law to return fraudulent charges. They are on the hook, not you.

As for having your identity stolen, that can be a very expensive and long drawn out process to recover from.


I wish companies were responsible, open, and honest.
