2.3 million customer records stolen - and the Democrats still don't care about privacy

From AP:

Fidelity National Information Services, a financial processing company, said Tuesday a worker at one of its subsidiaries stole 2.3 million consumer records containing credit card, bank account and other personal information.
I see the employee has been fired but how about lowering the boom in the boardroom as well because this kind of loss can't be tolerated. If these companies want to make riches from handling this kind of data, they need to accept that it cuts both ways. Why do consumers always get stuck with the negative results because simple alerts are meaningless and have no impact on these organizations who keep losing data without a care in the world. Too bad none of our leaders are taking an interest in the subject either.

NOTE FROM JOHN: I personally raised the issue with Nancy Pelosi. None of our leaders care about privacy. And the sad part is that privacy is interwoven into so many issues Democrats care about. But the Democrats not only don't care about the issue, they don't care that jumping on this issue could help scores of other issues we care about. And they wonder why their approval ratings are so low. Count me in the "disapprove" category.
