These companies should be forced to pay big money to each and every person affected by these breaches. Not like $120. Like $10,000 per. Teach them real lessons
The breach here is pretty minor, in my book. Name, address, specifics of computer purchased. The name and address is pretty much available and linked already. The computer isn't, but doesn't seem that abusable. Maybe it could help someone locate more-expensive, newer computers for theft, but I don't see a whole lot of potential room for abuse.
Now my friends know I bought an Alienware device. I'm never going to live this down.
