The rate at which these security breaches are happening is very alarming to me.

I don't know what the effects are of them (including this one), but my gut tells me they'll only increase over time; perhaps the severity of them as well.

It's honestly making me re-consider my use of the internet, technology, and electronics.

What's the future hold with regard to security, breaches, and keeping our data and information safe?

It is the rate at which they are being published that is alarming to you, the rate at which they are actually happening is much higher still.

This should be no surprise if you're a developer. "Lean/'agile' companies" have tried to cut cost so agressively that we don't have QA teams, tickets have to go as fast as possible, etc.

Businesses won't care about this until it hurts their bottom line. Even then they'll deny that it's possible.

For a long time people didn't care because they thought it couldn't happen or wouldn't affect them but I'm optimistic that people are learning, albeit slowly.

From the philosophical point of view, we cannot avoid these security breaches in the digital world. We need to leap forward to analog or quantum computing to leak proof our information.

I wonder if there will be any information private by then.
