Amend US law so there is CIVIL LIABILITY for backdoors with substantial statutory damages. The Tort bar in the US will make quick work of this and the problem will diminish, possibly cease.
Also, while I'm at it, it would be nice if Unbox Therapy and other like it would make mention of the Botnet threat in their product reviews.

- ryanlol 8y agoSo what kind of statutory damages would you deem appropriate for LPE backdoors? How do you differentiate between backdoors and bugs?
- jfk13 8y agoGood luck coming up with a legally-watertight definition of "backdoors" as distinct from "bugs", and proving which category any given flaw belongs to. Or do you want civil liability with substantial damages for every bug that might ever be exploited?
- OrgNet 8y agoIf you can prove somehow that it is a backdoor and not a bug, there should be CRIMINAL LIABILITY.
