Verizon Gave Her Data to a Stalker. ‘This Has Completely Changed My Life’::A stalker haphazardly posing as a cop demanded sensitive data from Verizon. Verizon complied, and the stalker drove to an address armed with a knife. 404 Media spoke to the victim.
In the interview with 404 Media, Poppy pointed out that Verizon is a multi-billion dollar company and yet still made this mistake. “They need to get their shit together,” she said.
they dont need to get their shit together, they need to be found criminally liable and fined a percentage of their stock price. yep, i said that. fuck your stocks
this would only change if this hit verizon where it hurts… and i mean hundreds of millions per fucking incident paid to the victim. then Verizon might be tempted to do something.
as it is, they are providing the bare minimum of any service required to achieve the next quarter stock ‘value’. any fines are the cost of doing business, and who gets that fine money? not the victim.
I agree with this sentiment for every corporation. WAY TOO OFTEN are people wronged, with life consequences, and they aren’t taken care of and the company gets a slap on the wrist.
If I did this as a private citizen, it could carry criminal charges. If a corporation does it, maybe they’ll get fined.
Stock… Price? You mean fine them some number of shares?
You can’t fine the price, that’s not how the stock market works.
