The writer of the story really tries hard to make vigelante justice narrative and glorify someone who is causing real damage to computer systems. We saw the same thing with the hack of Ashley Madison . They make the original vendors out to be scumbags. Things are much more complicated . Yes vendors and websites should keep things more secure. If you really want iot to be more secure I don't believe that large or small hacks is the best way to do this. The consumer is really the one that loses here.
- eximius 10y agoWell, yea, thats half the point. The point is manufacturers can't be bothered because it doesn't hurt them. There isn't a way to hurt them short of lawsuit or legislation. We don't really have the standing or power to effect change, so they hurt the consumers who complain to the manufacturers. Nobody thinks this is a nice solution, but is there a better alternative?
