In Europe this would be a hard to explain breach of GDPR. Which could result in some hefty fines. Especially if it is a vulnerability they knew about but chose to wait.
Are they in Europe? My guess is no.
Sure, but given that the poster said “would” the point is to bring additional awareness to how consumer-backing laws with actual teeth can bring about positive change, and perhaps to motivate citizens to support similar legislation and legislators who would write it.
It’s a bullshit headline all the way around. They may have waited like 9 days to patch it, but the exploit had been shown to be on their system (and many other companies) for several months. Essentially, the extra 9 days after the vulnerability was discovered and a patch existed wouldn’t have mattered much for anything. Ship already long since sailed.
