So what exactly is the "threshold that would require consumer notification"? I know California has a law, but what about the States/Countries that don't have laws -- what is the threshold to be ethical? Is the California law the measuring stick?

In my opinion, the threshold was crossed -- Acxiom should be called to task to notify consumers who had their info exposed.

And of course dimwit will get what he deserves.
