I say find them, have the Navy Seals pull them out to a tiny island, give them all a Bible, five years of food (rice, beans, and TSP in cans), and tiny one man plywood shelters. Come back in five years and see if they are changed folks. If not, repeat the application but this time give them less food. Bob

Well, every big corporation insists that their first priority is the safety of their customers. And then they get hacked. To tell the truth, they actually feel that this is the cost of doing business and will not spent the money on security. You have to protect yourself.

Not defending the hackers, but a company should know by now that the hackers will get them sooner or later. They know the hackers are out there, but will not spend the money on a secure system. They will apologize for the lost data, but they don't lose any money over it.

If it is the same likely Russian hackers, then they get ten years of solitary, cardboard shacks not plywood, wormy rice/beans/freeze dried tofu to eat, and they have to listen to bad country western played at 98 DB 24/7/365/10 years.
