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?

”As the custodian of your sensitive information, we take that responsibility moderately serious — within reason… Like a medium amount of security”

@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
