Staggering? I'd call it a pittance. The companies should've been fined much more to make an example out of them so no tech firm attempts something like this again.

Pretty sure thats a sarcastic use of the word staggering

That's what it sounded like to me as well.

It's like getting caught stealing and you only have to payback the money you stole. Zero incentive to stop stealing.

Or like getting caught and having to pay back 1/10th of the money you stole.
