Headline is not true.

A system with 9.4 million data records was breached, but it does not follow that all 9.4 million records were accessed. The article says a few hundred credit card numbers were accessed. Back when I was a boy, four orders of magnitude meant something.

Is there a “so inured to it, we just take it as read” list?

Don’t worry. There weren’t any passengers on that cracked up cargo plane in the photo.
