Being the victim of criminal behaviour, and not caring about other people's privacy are two very different things.
- mmjaa 9y agoCaring about peoples privacy, and technological negligence that results in that privacy being impinged upon, are in fact the same issue.
- valuearb 9y agoIt's not technological negligence to allow customers the means to access their own data if they forget their password. it's common sense.
- mmjaa 9y agoIt's technological negligence if you set out to protect customers privacy, but your employees decide to steal it anyway, because they can.
- SCHiM 9y agoIn the end, this is a problem with _all_ cloud services that do more than just _store_ data. If it does anything with your information at all then it's possible for an insider to look at it.
- zepto 9y agoBy that argument, all theft is negligence.
- CaptSpify 9y agoTechnically speaking, you are correct, but so what? It does kind of sound like victim blaming, but if you store a bunch of cash under your mattress, don't be surprised if someone tries to take it. Likewise, if you store a bunch of customer data, someone will try to come and take it. If you make it accessible to anyone other than the customer, you can't act surprised if someone takes it.
- mmjaa 9y agoYes, and if this is indeed true, so what?
- zepto 9y agoIt means that any system or organization that isn't already perfectly secure is an embodiment of negligence. Since that is impossible, all companies and all systems are negligence. A term that applies to everyone means nothing. Nevertheless you can say it and make businesses you don't like sound bad.
