Or, you know, the govs make this illegal like they should.

Well sure, but we all know that’s not going to happen any time soon. So until then, approach from all available fronts.

Have you forgotten that the govs include Intelligence and Law Enforcement agencies? They would never allow free information be taken from them.

Have you forgotten laws don’t stop an activity? They’re just the consequences for poor citizens if they’re caught. 😆

I’m responding to the idea that it’s something employers should offer. The private market isn’t going to fix this. They’re causing the problem and selling the “cure”.

Govs will have access to that data regardless. They don’t need compromised account databases.
