>At First American, security, privacy and confidentiality are of the highest priority and we are committed to protecting our customers’ information.

is such a meme.

Things will continue this way until there are serious repercussions for entities carelessly handling data.



The next sentence too:

> We are currently evaluating what effect, if any, this had on the security of customer information.

It's downright dishonest to even say "if any": they were presented with concrete examples of leaking customer information; they don't get to wonder whether it had an effect on their security anymore.


Yeah, considering that they have sent these URLs to at least tens of thousands of people, it would be hard to believe that nobody ever inappropriately accessed a document that didn't belong to them.


There was a repercussion a couple of days ago actually for Equifax. But yeah, maybe not serious enough to matter that much, I'm not sure what the outcome will be.
