> Shame on Adafruit. Hope they get sued out of existence.

They made a mistake. The response to the mistake is NOT GOOD. However, destroying a company that also does actually good things is not the answer here, either.

How should they fix this? I think they should start be writing another blog post apologizing for how bad the first one was, for starters. Emails to affected people next... But, let's be honest. How much better is _that_? Can't unleak the data. You can only be offered subscriptions to data protection services _sooo many times_. There's not really a monetary value as damages here...
