Never heard of ccleaner before, but it seems like some kind of data breach happens every other week. Nobody ever does anything about it besides issue a generic corporate non-apology that was written by their legal team. I have no doubt that several sketchy companies know more about my online activities than I’d ever want them to.
Companies tend to get serious about breach prevention after a breach.
But the same leadership who couldn’t retain Cybersecurity experts on staff before the breach doesn’t magically become good at hiring Cybersecurity experts after the breach.
So I suspect that most pay too much money for too little talent for their needs, and remain at high risk of another breach.

Oh yeah. Very much so.
To end this on a more positive note, the biggest single improvement a person can make right now, in my somewhat random, but informed, opinion, is to switch to the Firefox browser.
I could probably be convinced that installing uBlock origin or installing a PiHole are stronger, in a friendly argument over a round of drinks.
Of course, all three of those are compatible, for the truly paranoid.

Yep.
Ironically, the lawyer hours to write the non-apology are pretty expensive, right from the start. Beyond that, IBM thinks the average breach costs the company 4.4 million dollars.
