I recently went to buy tickets to see a stage play at a local community theater. Turns out last play I saw there was 15 years ago.
Wtf? Why do you have info on an account I haven't logged into in 15 years?
Until there's real fines for data loss, these companies won't change. Hell, for all I know they have friends in the dark web/hacker world and "leak" credentials to them.
Oh no my shameful secret is discovered: I never got around to visiting the zoo when I lived in Toronto.
