I'm a U.K. citizen never been to USA and most likely never will, so why is some scumbag, son of a bitch allowed to sell stolen details about me and thousands of other people in the USA, I wonder?

    What foolishness is that?

    I think DHS needs to get on that ASAP because there are loads of people doing that.

    Just because I am a customer of a mobile network that happens to be an American company, who is slack with their security, allowing some scoundrel to steal customer details? Ridiculous.
