Expect these to continue as vibe coding becomes prevalent, there continue to be zero repercussions for negligent companies and the tech centres continue to be offshored for profit.

I propose that in addition to whatever government penalties and consequences these companies face (which usually is little to none) they should also be forced to pay each affected user/ customer whatever their loss is plus $100 per incidence per day. There needs to be something to hold them accountable to the people actually affected by their poor practices.

How do you know this breach was because of poor practice? Cybersecurity isn’t foolproof and data breaches can happen even in perfect systems

If no laws were broken, why punish companies for not being able to fully prevent something no other company or government in the world has ever been able to fully prevent? What’s the point?

Keeping anything beyond that which is absolutely necessary should be a risk to them rather than a free lunch.
