    The government must state that there were no consumer files present - because if there were, they would be fined (by the government) and required to send out notifications to every individual who _might_ have been compromised. HIPAA has been very strict about this, charging fines: Theft of an unencrypted laptop in 2012 containing 148 sets of patient data (to be used for research) generated a fine of $250,000.

    It would be amusing to see the government chase its tail, fining itself into an abyss, over this. Perhaps we can watch...

    The administration and the media are saying this is so insignificant that it wouldn't have even been reported if it had been anyone else. So there!!!

    Whoops, I almost forgot, does anyone remember anything about the reports and the media's take on, "You can keep your insurance", or "You can keep your doctor"? "We did not target anyone, it was just a couple rouge agents", "ISIS is just the JV", "It wasn't a terrorist attack it was a video", or any of the other things these people try to get us to believe.

    How are we expected to believe anything this administration or the mainstream media puts out anymore. Is it really true now that salt is good for you? Why was it bad before? Should I eat eggs or not? I'm more confused today than I ever was.

      For all my life I ate what my nose declared smelling good and what my tongue and my palate declared tasting good. That is with the exception of the decade (1941-1951) when Germans led by Hitler and Commies installed by Stalin tried to starve us to death. I think that the risk of that approach is less then crossing a street or boarding a plane.
      There is no such thing as a risk-free lunch ;-)
      I see no confusion.

    I wonder if the hacker first got PO'd because his mama found the Affordable Heath Care to be extremely unaffordable in her case. Mama, papa, brother, sister, friend, relatives et als or some combination thereof.
