When children are breached--inside the massive VTech hack
http://arstechnica.com/security/2015/11/when-children-are-breached-inside-the-massive-vtech-hack/
"When it's hundreds of thousands of children including their
names, genders and birthdates, that's off the charts. When it
includes their parents as well--along with their home
addresses--and you can link the two and emphatically say "Here
is 9 year old Mary, I know where she lives and I have other
personally identifiable information about her parents (including
their password and security question)", I start to run out of
superlatives to even describe how bad that is."
