Shouldn't Lenovo be guilty of hacking and illegal wiretaps?

[chinathrow]

They should be put in front of a court. With they I mean the management of Lenovo, together with the management of Superfish.

Everything else is not acceptable.

To be guilty of wire fraud, Lenovo must have intent to defraud the user out of money. It will be tricky to prosecutte.

Placing their ads on a site where the user believes they are something else (e.g. Google search ads) has to qualify.

The law that would make this criminal would probably make innocently shipping software with security holes criminal as well.

(There are some people in the industry who call for this. I am not one of them.)
