    If a data breach in one company can expose “sensitive data on more than 190 million people”, the main vulnerabilities is that antitrust isn’t working is intended and that the means testing for things like medicine requires massive centralization. Who puts into law the awful policy of one big stash of sensitive data on everybody in the country, should be held responsible when the stash inevitably gets cracked. No “offensive military” cyber responses have been invented that would fix own bad policy yet.
