I wonder if this will actually cause an increase in the number of security vulnerabilities and breaches as there's now a fairly obvious way for employees to penalize their bosses financially for being assholes...

They fired their testers long ago who might've caught that. So ya. I can totally see that happening

That exactly it. M$ execs look at this stat and probably go "we need to make it more unsecure, for the shareholders - of course."
