Well, maybe the US cultural status of caring about computer security in business is so decrepit that only a really major high profile incident will shift priorities. Maybe the most effective route from today's situation to a a world in which US industry takes computer security seriously involves a temporary detour through a serious major disastrous hack. Maybe it's inevitable.
It's certainly consistent with how things have gone so far. Computer security is terrible today, but it was even worse a decade ago, and it's the low hum of constant cyberattacks and ransomware that probably have helped push that.

- mint2 3y agoThe feds have been warning about lack of cyber security in critical infrastructure for decades across multiple admins, with the warning being mainly about the two most likely nations with the clout and wherewithal to carry something out. And they see more efforts at compromise so they are warning people. How is it political? Industry and congress ignore the risk, warning the public is the last chance to spur change
