Cathay have been sitting on this for 7 months and have been irresponsible in their inaction and for EU citizens would have automatically been guilty of an unnecessary delay if the breach had happened since GDPR had been inacted.
Agree. a lot can happen in 7 months. Customers could have taken their own precautions to protect themselves such as canceling credit cards, replacing passports, or even doing their own credit and ID checks.
