Fidelity hacked ($5.4 trillion asset manager)

Confirmed hacked: 77000+ customer records including license, social security numbers and personal information.

We should celebrate that this has nothing to do with Monero. BTCETF investors had better put a few XMR's in their wallets.

There should be a standard for storing personal information. The standard should be not to store personal information.

Exactly. This makes no sense to me. And this is exactly why I use prepaid cell phone service and use gift cards to buy most items I require with Monero. They don't have any personal information at all. And that's the way it should be.

KYC laws demand it?

@Wave afaict, they don't have any more information than was already available in the NPD breach.

At this point if you are an adult and have an above-board job, you either have already frozen your credit reports, or you're in the process of being a victim of credit fraud.

I am really happy, that Monero stays with its status, and never been hacked
