How tasteful.
I think all companies just believe security doesn’t matter because the worst thing that can happen is they offer to pay for a credit monitoring. And the victims are powerless to pursue a meaningful lawsuit against them. Even when that happens, it results in a class action settlement where lawyers get a bunch of money and victims get very little.
