Forty-two million reasons to weep

It seems Charter Communications has generously leaked over forty-two million records of personal data, which has predictably landed them with multiple class-action lawsuits. This spectacular oversight affected a staggering number of their trusting customers who foolishly believed their details were secure. To protect ourselves from such routine corporate disappointment, we are apparently expected to magically safeguard our own data since multi-billion dollar firms clearly cannot be bothered to implement basic security safeguards. Just another day of pretending we have any control over our digital lives.
