The problem is not that people keep getting hacked.

The problem is that so many vendors won't do business with you without government ID.

The hacks would be a nonissue if the vendors would let us open accounts without identity information.

I am glad I have an old tmo postpaid account in a fake name with no DOB or SSN on file. I'm not sure such is possible to get today.
