How the hell do you still not understand what I said wow, this is just getting so frustrating trying to make you understand simple concepts, the CC database was more secrue and it's possible passwords were the only thing encrypted on the personal one, how hard is that for you to understand 

 

 

Because they said the database was unencrypted. Companies don't tell people the database is unencrypted if it's, you know, encrypted (even just a part of it).

The credit card was encrypted while name, adress and date of birth wasnt. Negligence is a

"Conduct that falls below the standards of behavior established by law for the protection of others against unreasonable risk of harm. A person has acted negligently if he or she has departed from the conduct expected of a reasonably prudent person acting under similar circumstances."

Its common practice to not encrypt personal information such as name, address and date of birth. If there is negligence, it will most likely not have anything to do with the name, adress and date of birth database not being encrypted.
