Reddit User Claims Discovery of Exposed PII at Fortune 500 Company, Alleges Government Inaction

The author of a Reddit post claims to have discovered personally identifiable information (PII) of customers exposed at a major Fortune 500 American company, dating back several decades. They reported this discovery internally as well as to the FBI, SEC, and FTC, but no action has been taken. The FBI responded that they cannot help stupid companies, while the SEC indicated that it might not be significant, suggesting to move on and keep quiet. The author believes that this silence was intentional, related to laws like FISA 702 and the Patriot Act, to enable government surveillance.
