true, though arguably it's a good thing. In the sense that it moves more of the costs of malware to the organisations that are meant to be securing the data.
Previously, these costs were more borne by customers/clients/etc, and thus not taken as seriously - abstract costs and externalities.
Putting a clear number of the cost of poor cybersecurity should push more organisations to actually do something about it.
- ChainOfFools 5y agono. mugging is not "good" because it incentivizes people to take karate classes. what an inhumane and cynical take.
- grlass 5y agoTheft was happening anyway via malware, it's just fewer of the costs were being borne directly. And as data collection increases, those indirect costs are getting higher. Now the organisation has more at to lose at first pass, rather than just data subjects.
