I agree it could help to look at legal changes, such as 'massive fines'. That's closer to the 'rethink' we need.
In regard to human error, I think we are approaching the point where it is useless to focus on individual hackers, companies, admins or users.
To pick the most famous example of something we should rethink (not that it would address the hack in this news story): users on the web mainly read text, yet our browsers enable Javascript by default.
To me it seems the ways we store and share data in IT are starting to fail. It's at the point where every interaction a regular person engages in (with banking, shopping, healthcare, social life, work, education, etc) has a real chance of becoming public. That's not sustainable.
- nix23 5y agoVery well said, i could not agree more.
- uberswe 5y agoThere is always a balance between convenience and security. Marketing tends to hate forcing 2FA as it hurts conversions for example. I think we can do a lot by thinking about only storing the data that is needed and for only the time that is needed. I think GDPR has been a first step in the right direction and it also adds fines for abusers.
