I don't want to prosecute programmers. But how can we incentivize the companies to do better and make more secure systems? By suing companies that have tech that is hacked, it should make them more careful in their security.
- ghaff 10y agoLawsuits (even fines) against the company, in addition to the inevitable consequences to the business, seem like perfectly reasonable consequences of security carelessness. That's rather different from randomly tossing managers in jail however. Be careful what you wish for though. In many industries, releasing product requires getting explicit permission from government regulators based on trials/plans/etc. often assembled at considerable effort by licensed engineers and others.
