Probably got everyone's alarm codes. I would change mine if I used this service. They more I see of these the more I never want to give anyone any of my information ever again.
LOL, didn't even think of that. The question is, how are all of these companies getting hacked? Bad security practices, or are the current security tools not good enough?
Too bad that companies are not required to disclose this info. I would like to know exactly what type of security software they were using. That's why I loved it that everyone knew that CrowdStrike Falcon was the cause of the major outage that cost companies $5 billion, they couldn't hide it.
LOL good point, probably not a good idea. But what I meant is that if security tools failed to protect companies, they should be hold accountable. Let's say Win Defender failed to protect against a major ransomware attack, should this be kept a secret, so that other companies will get hacked too? And I'm sure not all of these hacks are caused by user error.
No, but 100% are caused by bad guys. I'd like to see greater effort made to find ways to identify and punish then. If they're in a country that won't cooperate, disconnect that country from the internet.
BTW, turns out that the SEC already requires companies to report hacks, I assume they will then also look into which security tools these companies are using. If it was up to me, I would fine cybersecurity companies who can't protect against certain attacks. https://www.wilderssecurity.com/threads/cybersecurity-stocks-to-watch-amid-shift-to-ai-cloud.453604/
I still feel we should go after the attacker rather than the atackee (I know it's not a word). Prosecuting the victim will only make nobody want to provide cybersecurity. Cybersecurity companies certainly shouldn't be slack in their efforts, but the bad guys have plenty of incentive and apparently no risk. It's not possible to defend against every attack. Why would they ever give up? They're laughing at all of us.
I have to disagree, of course attackers will eventually be caught and prosecuted. And you can indeed not protect against everything, but many of the attacks that I read about should have easily been blocked. I think fining them will be an extra incentive for cybersecurity companies to step up their game.
