True, and what you're saying is generally true. But what were the total consequences of the Equifax breach? We can't even quantify it. Snowden himself in the article mentions activists and journalists being killed because of these vulnerabilities. There are definitely counterexamples.
- iamstupidsimple 5y agoThat's true. I suspect part of the problem there is lack of liability and therefore lack of willingness to pay for security. They're just going to lose the best security engineers to Google and Microsoft.
- d110af5ccf 5y agoThat is due to issues with how Equifax operated (and related lack of meaningful consequences). It has nothing to do with a lack of liability for software companies.
