When CEOs start getting jailed. CEOs are ultimately responsible. Especially if they are going to justify high salaries for themselves. Fines mean nothing.

- ipsum2 8y agoThis makes no sense. Imagine a junior engineer forgetting to sanitize some inputs, leading to SQL injection. Should the CEO really be put in prison for that? Should the engineer be jailed?
- craftyguy 8y agoWhy doesn't the engineer's manager require code reviews for all check-ins/patches before running in production? Why doesn't the CEO, or anyone between the CEO and the engineer, mandate that all engineers writing production code take courses in writing safer code (e.g. sanitize all input, no exceptions)? Why doesn't the CEO pay for code audits? I wonder how many companies who have 'leaked' data recently are doing these things. Granted, it will never catch all bugs, but avoiding these things is negligence, which should be punishable.
- jay_kyburz 8y agoBut the CEO can set a policy of deleting information that is not required, and making sure that policy is followed. Cathay Pacific could choose not to keep all that information.
- chopin 8y agoThe CEO makes what, like 100 times of that what a junior makes. Why shouldn't he responsible? He cannot account for that much money through his pure workload but only by taking up responsibility. Criminalization is wrong, though. Put the company to death, that's enough. Even the high penalties of GDPR already cause changes of management behavior (at least where I work).
