If reporting the data is not required, then they apparently only have the guarantee that the customer owned a fitness tracker at one point in time? I also understand that most life insurance policies are pretty solid contracts, and that the company can't strong arm the customer into jumping through hoops or make additions/addendums to it. I appreciate that JH is trying to get people off their couches (and with the reported fattening of the USA it's sorely needed), but an incentive-only program is probably the way to go. The lower risk people (presumably the fitter ones) should pay lower rates.

"Thanks to you we have prevented this possible breach and from what we could discover the data you are talking about could be some amount of customers' emails and possibly some other data. However, we could only find that there were only a few points of access and activity with the data."

Translation: We actually didn't prevent a breach but that gaping hole that persisted for six months is finally closed. There were a few points of access and activity, but it amounted to all that data now available for sale on the dark web.

Don’t worry 70% iCloud accounts have 2FA enabled.

But with companies like this effectively handing out access to your cellular account like candy that 2FA might be back down to 1FA: https://appleinsider.com/articles/18/08/27/sprint-staff-portal-poorly-secured-allowed-for-easy-sim-swapping-attack

"said to make things difficult for security agencies in combatting serious crimes and threats to national security"

How about this thought -- putting a backdoor in place actually creates its own threat to national security? National security isn't just a product of direct government ability to snoop on suspected criminals but it also includes protecting the privacy, secrets, and sensitive information of its citizens.
