Stiffer penalties for everyone involved

Most companies are making profit from the data which is the main reason they use their resources to house it. If companies knew they'd be hit with huge fines, they'd take the necessary steps to secure data (disconnect from the internet, competent staff, etc.). In the event something got stolen despite their best efforts, they should still have to handle the consequences. This is no different than hitting a car while trying to park. I tried not to hit them but I didn't succeed so I have to pay for the damages. Also, ID thieves and other criminals should have their pictures printed in a national magazine (Criminals Monthly?). Public humiliation isn't nearly as costly and probably far more effective than spending months or years honing your skills other criminals.
