Companies can't even be convinced to have longer passwords on their wifi. And open office plans mean every computer faces a window
Then companies deserved to be hacked. shrug
The problem is the companies aren't suffering the majority of the consequences of the security breaches, it's the people these companies have personal information on & that includes people who have never done business with these companies but that these companies purchased data on.
But I work at companies and I would like my info to not be hacked. Their fuck ups affect employees and customers
And they should be held liable for the costs occurred to employees and customers.
