| > AT&T will not be affected whatsoever by a security breech That's naive. If my emails become public, trust me, I'll cancel my AT&T service. If AT&T becomes known for airing people's dirty laundry, they will quickly bleed customers. > Further, it is very clear that companies make mistakes all the time with configuration their servers and tools in ways that makes data leaks and theft possible. Yes, they do. And in cases where individuals are hurt, those individuals sue the company involved. Either individually or collectively. Those companies do pay for their mistakes. Except, of course, in cases where no actual measurable harm was done by the security breach. > We should demand that this flaws be exposed and fixed ASAP, there is nothing to be gained here by harassing those doing that exposure. There is a reason we vest the authority to enforce laws and pursue criminals in only a select few trained individuals. It's naive to think random teenagers have a fine grasp of the law, civil rights, and a well-tuned moral compass. |
