- x0x0 13y agoTrying to lay the bill for making your systems secure at the feet of the individual hackers who got into your systems seems wrong. I'm not arguing that what these guys did was legal or good or that they shouldn't be prosecuted, but something about that grates; it's an expense the company (should have) paid beforehand and these guys wouldn't have been able to do what they did. If a system is on the internet, securing it is a cost that has to be born by the retailer.
