> We always say we'd rather people report a thousand false alarms than fail to report a single real emergency, but if the process of filing those reports results in condescending info-dumps or intimidating interrogations, is it really a surprise that so many people have been trained to just not say anything and hope their suspicions were wrong?
This is how it is at almost any company I have ever worked for. They always say things like "We prefer that you ask questions if you don't know" or "We would rather get a hundred false reports than miss one valid one." That sort of thing.
And then when you follow through with what they ask for, it's just like the quoted part says.

It's not just a cyber security problem folks. This is pretty much a global problem, because no one ever really wants to be bothered over trivial matters, and no one really wants to believe the boy who cries wolf; even if the wolf is real.
None of this will get better until people in general become both intellectually and morally wiser. So get a drink and some popcorn cause this is gonna be a while.
