Quora User Data Compromised
This is why I hate companies that force you to sign up to gain access to content. I do not <i>want</i> that relationship. Sooner or later those systems will be legacy and then maintaining them will be a pain. Bitrot will set in and sooner or later there will be a breach.<p>One new development is that you used to be able to get your invoices mailed via snail mail. Then that disappeared and you got your invoices mailed via email. Then <i>that</i> disappeared and now you have to create an account on some portal so that you can download your invoice. So that's one userid/password combo per business relationship or service that you use privately. Healthcare, HOA, insurance, payroll etc., every bloody two bit player requires you to log-in to their oh-so-secure service rather than that they send you your stuff. Which requires a ton of overhead and - sure enough - sooner or later they get hacked because by then the amount of data they hold on to is more valuable than their security could reasonably be expected to defend.
