or responsibility for what they program, that's always seemed like one of the biggest part of actual engineering is that your name is on it, people could die, you have a responsibility to engineer a solution that is safe and effective

criminal liability for data breaches needs to happen

a better analogy is the liability of a bank holding a safe deposit box or something similar

ok, sure, you can be held liable for the records being stolen. but can you sue the filing cabinet company if the burglars manage to snap the lock and steal the medical records?

this is like "charge target with losing the records" vs "charge whoever wrote target's software"

i think criminalizing or at least heavily regulating programming is the correct solution

theres a certain standard for physical security you have to use for hipaa compliance and its probably laid out in NIST somewhere. good luck finding it tho.

but if you bought a lock that claims to meet whatever regulatory compliance but it turns out it fails in action you might have a case against them. the trick, tho, is to make sure they assume liability in the first place. like when we do stuff w/ vendors (ex: our fax webservice provider) we have it in writing that they assume liability for breaches in their system while handling our data.

extending even the rudimentary hipaa standards to all personal information would be huge and good

probably for classified documents too if the military can prove the safe was compromised under the time limit specified by the standard the manufacturer is compliant to

if you're a good shot with a hitscan weapon, that shotgun that fires metal and returns damage as metal is broken as gently caress
esp if you're an ADD trolly gunslinger engineer like me
get behind some fuckos and just macro drop sentries while shotgunning them to refill forever
