    There is a category of programmers who make a lot of money: the
ones who make a job of stealing and saling private data out of the
accounts which all companies and administrations force customers and
citizen to create. They can do so because the Internet is inherently
unsafe, and there is no way to secure it, and, in addition, the site
makers and admins are negligent. Specially the providers of ready-made
sites -- eg Google -- do not care at all of securing private data
because they are never sued, nor the companies which pay them for it.
There should be a value for private data and, when it is stealed, the
holders should be sued. A lot of money is stealed, and people even
hijacked or killed after their private data has been compromised.
