T-Mobile investigating claims of 100M customer data breach
I feel like companies like this should have to register a data breach like this in a national register, and then should someone become a victim of identity theft, the companies on that register associated with that person should bear the costs associated with that theft (importantly without the victim having to show that it was a direct result of that breach). E.g. John Smith ss#123-45-6789 (T-mobile, Experian) has a false refund filed in his name, $10k in legal costs associated with clearing his name, t-mobile and experian each owe him $5k…Until companies are held accountable for the negative externalities they are causing, this won’t end.
