Apple should be sued over the data leak

27. What they are describing was how Sarah Palin's Yahoo email account was hacked too...

The problem is that if you don't design security questions, etc. to get access to an account to take in to account that some people have very public lives where many of those security question answers are publicly available, then you have a flawed system. I know that Yahoo revised a lot their methodology for retrieving forgotten passwords after that, to avoid such circumstances and ensure that whether a person's personal life is well known or not, that the procedures for getting in to an account where someone has forgotten a password is secure.

I won't go in to details on flaws like these in general, but there are other ways that sometimes corporate systems have problems with security of data internally and otherwise that needs revamping, as I've seen it at times and helped fix some of those holes myself, but often times, the fundamental design still should be changed to make it better. That is the problem when you also get companies too big with oligopoly power, where they don't worry as much about this sort of problem when someone's account gets jeopardized and calls them out in public if they know what's happened, since often times, people don't have another option to go to in the marketplaces we have these days and their experiences get lost in the ethers.
