> In particular are comic cases of when companies fail to secure things at all (e.g. leave data exposed to the public via hidden URLs) and then someone gets prosecuted because they "hacked" that company and "stole" that data. Which is my main concern with all the attention and push for change (or rather more laws and less privacy) in relation to the Sony hack (among others). Would Congress and the media be calling for equitable action if someone had physically broken in to the Sony Films offices and stolen the data, due to lax (physical) security policies? Doubtful, they'd probably be told to buy better locks...
