Thanks for the quick answers!

Sometimes comparisons illustrate things very clearly. If you were to compare hacking someone's Facebook account to the PII security breach? That might make things crystal clear to the Sun!

Thanks in advance!

This breach, if as described, is pretty much like 30,000+ 77r applications (which contain name, address, ssn, gun purchases, etc) being out on a searchable public website. Think www.cars.com. Add a generic login whose password is shared by multiple people, so effectively published as well

SELECT name, address, ssn, employer, whatever from victimized_people_table where gun_model like 'ar-15'
result: all name, address, ssn, employer who applied for a gun with a name containing ar-15; a shopping list for anyone who wants to steal a gun, or your identity, or whatever...

Not too happy People need to go to jail over this one, and stay there!

30,000+ people should be pissed, and that is only counting the group of directly victimized individuals!

I am beyond pissed. I missed out on a good evening with friends on Wednesday; while I was actually at Camden Yards, I spent more time on MDS via TapaTalk than I did actually watching the game. I had to book quite a few hours of PTO this week due to being honest about the impact it had on my work output.

At the same time, I am still constantly reminded of this, based on the reactions from our elected officials:
