Totally agree with the driving drunk analogy. I mean, we say that car manufacturers and airplane companies have to run their systems to agreed standards. And this is done in such a way that safety on the roads and in skies improves. So why can it not be done for the IT industry? Nobody talks about

So really there's nothing to do then. We just have to accept that large corporations will continue to roll out products with poor security and that's the way it will always be.

What I don't understand about everyone's scepticism here is it seems like nobody thinks security can be improved and that we shouldn't be shocked when large corporations roll out hopelessly insecure kit. How do you think we can best protect the consumer then? On 16 January 2014 17:44, wrote: >

Well users do care about getting hacked when it happens - so maybe they do need to be forced to pay a little more to be secure. This also has benefits for e-commerce and on-line banking, credit card fraud etc - so there are definitely companies who will benefit from reduced on-line crime so maybe t

True, some sort of legislation might do the trick, but there is always this nasty question which we all really hate: who is going to pay for that? We can't burden national budgets with stuff like that, ISPs do not produce more than they are paid by customers, so... end users! So technically, we'll

No sir, I believe I should have been more explicit at that than I was -- I did not mean to say it is about nationalities.
