We have to think of this similar to how any other human or company behavior is monitored. Hold companies responsible and have a market sell ransomware insurance. (One exception to my solution is poor government and public institutions who run awful software. Not sure what we can do) If I have a habit of burning down my house by being sloppy with safety, my rates will go up. There should be something similar Let us take the case with Equifax mismanaging their servers, with running obsolete Java packages resulting in identity theft for millions of Americans. Credit score is controlled by 3 companies. Credit score determines mortgage rate and hence it literally controls if a US resident can afford to buy a house or get a job (in some states). Don’t the companies need to take some responsibility? Similarly dozens of companies leaving Elastic search installs and MySQL open to the internet. I mean.. how sloppy can one get? Fine, be sloppy, just pay $$$$$ to your insurance company. That $$ amount will indirectly decide whether we go to war with Russia or pay software engineers.
