Re: grrrrrrrrrrr said by Dodge:For whom? WHo is going to go to prison? The executives who would not approve proper equipment or developers who wrote the OS for failure to patch quickly enough? 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? |
