This is the new normal, also I'm glad this is happening. Here's why: perhaps this is what it takes to get politicians to take security seriously. Once enough elections have been won/lost because of security breaches in consumer products and commercial networks surely we should start to see consumer protection agencies given charter to protect consumers and bring suits against companies for mishandling breaches or gross negligence.
- xbryanx 9y agoI'm not a security expert so this is a serious question. Do you think there's a way to take security seriously enough to successfully defend against state-sponsored hacking? Is it simply inevitable that this sort of hacking leak will happen, or is this leak likely the result of some low-hanging fruit security tips being ignored?
- ryanmarsh 9y agoI have no idea. My guess would be no. It sure would be nice if we were trying harder though.
- fictioncircle 9y agoThe problem is the politician's kneejerk response is to reduce security by introducing backdoors. (See the legislation they actually try to pass) They don't do what you suggest they should.
