I received a notice that my data was leaked in a data breach from a custodian who I did not know had my data in the first place. I had never even heard of them.

One of my financial institutions outsourced to this custodian who was breached. I want to know who I am doing business with that hired the reckless custodian so I can close my account. The custodian ignored my requests for the source of the data.

The attorney general responded saying essentially: out of our purview… nothing to do here… we don’t give a shit.

Really? It’s such a perverse assault on data breach victims to deny them information about where the breach came from.

I would like to sue the custodian who is concealing from me the data source. Of course I would like to know if any law was broken, and I find nothing. What am I missing?
