Companies you've never heard of, holding your critical data for reasons that aren't clear, despite the causal connection to health insurance.

Can we just for the love of fucking god or whatever get universal healthcare?

At least 26 million people have had their personal data stolen from Conduent, a company that provides printing, payment, and document processing services for some of the largest health insurance providers in the country [meaning U.S.A., again]. ...etc...

Sorry, that would mean the rich would get richer slightly slower. Best we can do is make insurance twice as expensive to appease our donors.

That's crazy that I've had a dozen of these "largest breaches in history" in my lifetime.

Just got my letter in the mail from Conduent today. FML. I might as well just post this shit on Facebook at this point.

It’s the largest breach in US history so far

You must be a decade or two younger than I am.

Unless you are well over 80 years old, that is patently not true. Computer data breaches started happening in the intelligence sector in the late '50s to early '60s. They weren't reported on. Corporate data breaches started happening in the mid '70s to early '80s. Again not widely reported on because that was mostly corporate espionage. The first major data breach that was reported on that I remember was the attack on the Dow Jones that happened in 1988 or 1989.

Data breaches have included everything from floppy disks to tape drives. Not just emails and USB jump drives.

Best we can do is raise prices again and require you to have it

causal

casual?

Remote. That is the key word you left out. That word makes what you said make a lot more sense. There were a ton of data breaches that weren't remote before Arpanet.

Holy shit, I never expected to see the company I worked for (as Apple support) in the news, you go Conduent! But honestly, yeah, the amount of personal data we used to deal with was absurd, and the security was almost non-existent. The only account that was prohibited to even look up was Tim Cook's one. You could be easily fired for that.

Basically, we could see the whole purchase history of any account, bank info, address, phone numbers, etc. and we used to tell the customers crap like "oh, no, I don't see anything, we cannot identify payments or block/unblock your iphone", even though we could easily do all that and way more in a few clicks.

Anyway, my NDA is over now, so I guess it's fine for me to share all this.
