And business cannot operate at a loss, so increased expenses will be passed on to customers. Yay.... right?
If we can make security lapse expenses higher and higher we can all pay more and more until all products are completely secure but no products remain....
- ClumsyPilot 5y agoYeah, who needs those aircraft safety regulation, where is my Boeing Max-Max with 50% chance of taking a swim mid-flight?
- ChrisLomont 5y agoThe vast majority of software security issues don't kill people. Trying to price them higher than current levels will add cost to goods, no?
- pjmlp 5y agoSame applies to food regulation, restaurants, supermarkets, goods that don't last the warranty time,.... If a business cannot manage, it closes, as simple as that.
- ClumsyPilot 5y agoGood cost you in ways other than their price - unsafe electrical goods can burn down your house, leaking your personal data can cause you to be robbed or defrauded, food can cause poisoning, etc. So you might save $5 on the price of the "smart doorbell" and then loose $50,000. Obviously there is some kind of balance that needs to be struck, but the amount of data leaks and fraud is plain out of control at the moment,
