Screw Up With Cybersecurity, Go To Jail?
from the hmmm dept
No one denies that cybersecurity isn't an important issue for companies, but do executives deserve to go to jail if their company's cybersecurity isn't enough to keep out hackers? Of course, the story doesn't name a single case where this has happened - or where it's even been threatened. While it is perhaps a possibility, it certainly sounds like no one's gone so far as to follow the letter of the law when it wasn't necessary.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
–The Techdirt Team

Oh, that's too easy. Just don't use a computer, or if you do, don't connect it to any networks.
