I can't wait for the class action lawsuit on this one.
What a gold mine for hackers. ALL of the personal info on pilots, a group of high income individuals. Social numbers, address history, ages, employment history, education history, literally every question ever asked to verify a credit report or open an account online. How incompetent of the company not to have taken strong protections. This is going to be a disaster if they didn't expunge everyone who was no longer current. Which I doubt they did.

Although the amount of data we're talking about here is pretty trivial compared to even a handful of high-def videos so maybe they never bothered.

If anyone is interested in getting info about what can be done to get a fair deal just send me a message and I'll forward whatever information I get from the firm. Might take a while to reply coz i dont check this account often

It was a pain but now I never have to worry about it. My SSN has been flagged no one will just open an account without multiple verification steps.
