    Notably there have been almost zero data breaches of large banks, because their requirements for security are significantly higher than most other companies. My original comment was not about banks, they obviously need to retain a lot of customer data, and most of that is not exposed to the internet at all. I was talking about things like a pizza shop or an online retailer. There’s no need for Burger King or a webcomic artist I’m buying a print from to have a login or my email address for longer than it takes me to get my items.

      Yeah, but this breach is specifically about KYC, about financial industry stuff. The company that got porked, was the company the banks used for their KYC stuff.
