Lots of woke Snowflakes at Apple and all these tech companies. They need to see what other people have to endure to make a living.

The entitled of today don't seem to be able to look beyond their own little selves, and for that I pity them. 

I suppose this is what you get when a generation or two have been deprived of exposure to world history, not to mention the concept of gratitude.

I can't remember from when I set up Apple Pay, it was a long time ago, but surely you need more than just the credit card number?

You set up the phone and the bank confirms usually through SMS. 

It could be that an extra check is needed: the mobile phone that the SMS is being sent to has the same number your bank keeps on file 

That's the main reason I don't like SMS for 2FA. Spoofing a phone number isn't that hard for the motivated individual..

Three years in prison is just a slap on the wrist. He’ll be out in 18 months and free to continue his work. Crime does pay after all. And how will the government make these perps pay the restitution they were ordered to pay? 

I agree. He's a nonviolent offender, but this sentence seems far too light.

Nonviolent?!?!? Who cares? These offenders need to serve actual jail time of 3 years minimum, plus a bonus of 1 year per $100K thereafter. And pay restitution. Or, as @lkrupp says, it amounts to a slap on the wrist. And while we're at it, how about some serious punitive sentences for perpetrators of malware and ransomware? It's not like they, oops, made a little boo-boo.

And you thought Steve Jobs had a reality distortion field…

Oh yeah? Well I think I could play center field for the Yankees.

Right.
