As has been said on here many times, the problem is with a lack of accountability. My information was stolen as part of the OPM hack. No one has taken my identity yet, but various nations no doubt know that I used to work in sensitive positions, and pretty much all my private information.

You know what the government did about this? They gave me free credit monitoring for a certain number of years. Enough critical information / infrastructure is online that heads should roll with each major breach.

There is apathy toward security on a large scale. There is apathy toward identity thievery. I grew out of the "death to capitalism" stage of my life decades ago but in this case it is obvious that money is protecting the big players.
