Re: grrrrrrrrrrr said by rahlquist:Its time to make data insecurity a felony. For whom? WHo is going to go to prison?

What about in case of open source software, arrest everyone involved in creating the software? A good point, but how about mandatory random security audits from a trusted outside source, government run or otherwise? Failure to pass the security audit with flying colors could result in hefty fines (and by hefty, I mean hefty enough for the company to actually notice instead of just ignoring the problem and writing a check).
Of course, AT&T is one big personal information broker anyway, so I don't see much point in trying to audit them.

kudos:1 | And what god forsaken focus group is going to design the security audit protocol, and then the suits and "industry groups" gut the guidelines with a stroke of their corporate lobbiest and thinktank pens? |

Whomever is in charge of the policy that allows the social engineering that just about anyone can perform to get your personal info from a phone company. To hell with the sill 6 figure fines that a phone company could give a flip about, threaten executive management with Jail and they will get it fixed.
The part that makes no sense is giving this information out costs the phone co money taking employee resources and time. Unless of course they are getting paid for the info....
