There are requirements to meet, disclosures to make, laws to comply with, and punishments to be carried out for failing to protect personal information in a company's (or the government's) care. I have seen no sanctions or legal action against this derelict behavior in many, many years.

We sure are seeing a huge surge in Life-Lock type companies, so I guess it is at least good for some new businesses, even though it destroys lives.
