Re: Hacker dumps Guns.com database with customers, admin data
This is another example of the consequences of having no concern for one's own privacy. The fact that every business wants YOUR DATA but puts very little effort into PROTECTING YOUR DATA is a sign of the general societal disrespect for privacy. The popularity of the Anti-Social-Media platforms, where people post the most mundane to the most intimate details of their lives, illustrates the voyeuristic nature of our society, where popularity is garnered by exposing yourself.
The fact that MOST BUSINESSES are incapable of protecting your data from hackers should lead to a public demand that all personal data be deleted after 60-days or 30-days after completion of the transaction, whichever is longer. It should also lead buyers to carefully select their vendors.
Without vendors increasing their efforts at protecting your data, this will happen more and more, as hackers are seldom punished to a level that discourages others from such actions.
