Flimsy Argument
"In court papers, Yahoo had argued that the breaches were “a triumph of criminal persistence” by a “veritable ’who’s who’ of cybercriminals,” and that no security system is hack-proof."
It seems like Yahoo tried using the ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ argument and the judge just wasn't having it.
I'm not surprised - I'd think as a publicly traded company, Yahoo had an obligation to its stockholders to have controls in place for security that also would have included an escalation/user communication procedure if a breach occurred. They really didn't seem to demonstrate a concern for their users by waiting so long to tell them what happened.

Re: Flimsy Argument
It would seem that users should have some sort of recourse for this breach. It's controversial to withhold this information from a userbase, and we'll probably learn a lot more facts about this incident via legal proceedings.

I recently saw a developer tool that might help create honeypots automatically and easily. Maybe if more tools can deter malware by making it harder to find weaknesses in networks -- we can eliminate more of these kinds of data breaches.

Re: Flimsy Argument
Speaking of tools & data breaches. (this is very much an after-the-fact kind of tool) Equifax put up a site for consumers to see if they might be affected. The terms of use on the site currently say users give up legal rights to sue Equifax by using the site. This is an example of what NOT to do after a data breach.

Re: Flimsy Argument
I think it depends on how rigorous the e-sign procedure is on the contract for Equifax's website. If it doesn't have a bunch of strict "I'm not a robot" requirements and an actual signature, then it probably won't hold up in court. But arguably, even if it does, it shouldn't hold up in court, either.

Re: Flimsy Argument
Here is a "primer" for all On data breaches I got from an old boss of mine..and wanted to pass it on:
1. Assume you are affected. Equifax and other credit reporting companies can collect information about you from credit card companies, banks, or other financial institutions without your knowledge. 2. Freeze your credit reports with all three major credit reporting companies: Experian, TransUnion, and Equifax. Visit the Federal Trade Commission's Credit Freeze FAQ page for guidance on how to freeze your credit. 3. Set fraud alerts with all three agencies. For guidance on how to set fraud alerts, visit the Federal Trade Commission's Place a Fraud Alert page. 4. Monitor activity on your credit accounts and reports carefully. Consider checking your credit rating regularly by asking for free credit reports from your bank or other credit service companies. Please note that while Equifax is offering free credit monitoring for those affected by this breach, there are reports (not confirmed by USC) that you may be opting out of your ability to join any class action lawsuits against the company if you sign up for Equifax's credit monitoring. 5. Be aware of tax return fraud. Criminals sometimes use stolen social security numbers and other personal information to file fraudulent tax returns and redirect tax refunds to their own accounts. For more information on how to protect yourself, see the Internal Revenue Service's Taxpayer Guide to Identity Theft. As this is a major and well-publicized breach, identity thieves and other criminals are likely to send out phish emails appearing to come from Equifax or other credit reporting agencies. It is important that you do not click links in any emails asking for your personal information or login details, no matter how legitimate the emails may appear. Instead, open a new browser window, navigate to the company's website by manually typing its official URL in the location bar, and conduct any required business there. mhhf1ve

Re: Flimsy Argument
That's great info. I put a freeze on my accounts and it left me wondering why the default isn't to be frozen? How often do people open up new credit accounts that they need their credit to be available at any time? Or perhaps there should be conditional "freezing" where you require more un-freezing if more than $10,000 of credit is being applied for? Why should it be binary of frozen or not? I assume there are some of these kind of safeguards in place already -- like when a bank pulls your entire credit history before you try to get a home loan. But I think we're going to see more security measures for all lines of credit soon.

Yahoo Faces Litigation for Data Breaches
Yahoo's position is extremely arrogant that the victims of those data breaches "lack the standing to sue." It's time these companies put on their big boy pants and accept responsibility for compromising millions of people's security. Equifax is another example. What do they care what they do with people's personal information? They're constantly using it and selling it to third parties for their own gain anyway, so where is the integrity?

Unfortunately, major companies have not truly been held liable for anything over the past who knows how long. While I completely agree with you, I doubt that they are going to own up to their flaws any time soon.

Re: Yahoo Faces Litigation for Data Breaches
@afwriter Was just watching that movie about how Erin Brockovich fought PS&G for clients who got terminal diseases due to groundwater contamination. PS&G was responsible, of course, because they were using a highly cancerous form of chromium. But in another example of a large company that gets away with murder, they tried to use governmental immunities "to limit or defeat Plaintiffs' prosecution." So, you're correct. Guess that's the way it goes. In her perserverance, however, Brockovich was successful in winning the case.
