Yeah, but like @Slick and @James said on the WAN Show, that data's been copied and sold to multiple people already. Having the drives is like having the gun after it's already killed a dozen people.

Actually it's even more useless than that.  In your example at least that gun can no longer kill anyone else.  In this case, having the data does nothing to stop further spreading.

If only there was a good Samaritan with their own hard drives that could have prevented this.

I use this hard drive for my protection, it's my protection hard drive. It protects me and my family from..... data loss, it's my backup hard drive.

This is my hard drive, this is my floppy. This is for data, this is a copy.

And now a class-action lawsuit has been proposed against NCIX's Trustees and Able Auctions.

I ordered from them in 2012. Bought a GTX Hawk card I believe. Do I need to contact my bank and ask for a new debit card?

Sounds like that would be a good idea, or at a minimum notify them of the data breach so your covered in the invent of an issue.

Will do. It is with Chase btw. My mom was hacked a couple years ago (they wired $430  to some account), and they actually gave my mom the money back after an investigation. I was surprised the bank would do this, they are great. Although, I was just surprised because it never happened before I think. I don't know if that is normal behavior

After reading the privacyfly article fully, it seems like Steve Wu knew what he was doing and was just careless in holding peoples data during operation of the business and certainly didn't care when NCIX when bankrupt, shady shady stuff.

Yep. Appently he fled to China because he knew he could get sued.
