Re: Simple solution

Make it a criminal offence to pass on, sell, or even buy and store indirect personal information. With criminal liability falling on the persons involved, certainly the executives. And pass the legislation quickly.

Unless the board or execs are bleeding off money to personal accounts, I can't recall any prosecution of a board or exec. The companies own the legislatures so fat chance of this ever passing.
