Hear me out, maybe just maybe, we shouldn't be storing any private information anywhere anymore unless absolutely necessary. This problem is only going to get worse unless everyone works together to combat it.
It's like every week I'm hearing about a new data breach somewhere.
AI has helped empower a new generation of script kiddies. Slop kiddies.
When are real consequences going to fall on their heads? Anyone holding PII should be legally responsible for said data and face stiff fines paid to the people impacted. They should also be held accountable for any and all costs associated with any data breach
When folks directly hold suits accountable?
Instead of holding anyone accountable, what I think we should do is create some more laws that force us to give them copies of our driver's licenses, birth cerificates, and social security numbers.
Instead of direct action
