There's a massive reason these misconfigurations shouldn't be felonies. Since such errors are so hard to avoid (no company has perfect practice), few sane people would be willing to work in any role that involved taking such responsibility, so a bunch of services would suddenly cease to exist, and the economic cost from the loss of those services could well be way greater than the cost from the occasional breach (which I've as of yet never seen anyone here try to quantify).

- rhizome 7y agoPeople work in those roles all the time, do you say "well nobody has perfect practice" when a doctor leaves a thermometer in your child's skull after surgery? There are malpractice regimes all over the place, it just results in having real training and an assessment of risks and, y'know, not cowboy'ing, before making changes. "What difference does it make that this girder is 1/2" out of alignment? Nobody's perfect."
