True, but also there is some corporate negligence in relinquishing control of sensitive customer (personal) data. This, in itself, is a crime in Canada. Leaving the keys to the kingdom with some asshat is a problem. lolFrom what I understand, NCIX did not sell this data or servers, they were confiscated for not paying rent etc and the land lord knew about the data and servers and was selling them off to recover owed rent. The deals were also very shady and they KNEW what they were doing, as they were "renting" out the room with the servers in them, and allowed whoever access to it, at the price of $15k a pop, in other words, they were not selling the data, they were just renting an expensive room, that just happened to have the servers and data in it with all the means needed to copy the data....What you did with your room rental time is up to you...
To me, that is the land lord etc that needs to have the law come down like a hammer on.
