I still feel like this is why the penalties for allowing user's data to be leaked should be harsh enough to make it worthwhile for companies take even basic steps to protect other people's data, or even better, to avoid collecting it or keeping it in the first place.
Since that hasn't happened yet, I try to avoid handing my data over when I can.
- stvltvs 3y agoAgreed, perhaps requiring companies who handle sensitive data to carry insurance and licensing engineers who build those systems, something like the PE.
- doubled112 3y ago> licensing engineers who build those systems The IT and software industries would really change. Perhaps for the better, but perhaps not.
- HeatrayEnjoyer 3y agoI can't possibly see it becoming worse. This isn't the 90s any more, computing and the internet are no longer cute novelties but infrastructure just as critical as electricity or airport communication. Software "engineering" has been due for the professional licensure and direct liability that every other serious industry has had for a century.
