IT Blame Games

IT Blame Games 05/27/2004 01:47 PM
A while back, we were wondering whether or not a company is negligent if they "allow" themselves to be hacked and lose customer data. Nothing is foolproof, so there will always be security risks -- both in the real world and the IT world. So the question becomes: who's legally responsible? A somewhat informal CIO jury is split on where the blame lies. Obviously, the issue is not that simple and probably needs to be judged on a case-to-case basis. Sometimes the software vendor is to blame, and sometimes the IT department makes a mistake. The matter of compensation for security breaches opens a rather large can of worms, so we might expect some long, drawn-out legal battles the next time a major IT security breach occurs.

Blame Wireless!

Blame Wireless! 12/27/2004 01:32 PM
What is it with new technologies where some people are so quick to blame new technologies without ever (not once) coming up with any evidence that there's actually a problem. Last week we had that completely made up story suggesting that peopl e stealing credit card numbers with cameraphones was a big problem, when there was absolutely no evidence anywhere that it had happened. Now, we have one about the horrors of leaving your WiFi unprotected. Just like the cameraphone story, this one includes a single anecdotal story about someone who thinks they had money stolen from them due to an open WiFi network, though it seems unlikely. The woman claims that it must be because of the WiFi, even though the likelihood of her credit card being stolen by WiFi is very unlikely since most sites that take cards are encrypted. It's much more likely that she was a phishing victim or wherever she spent her money had their server hacked. Of course, the reporter accepts her version of the story without asking any questions. Then the article gives an "example" of just how "bad" the situation is. Unfortunately, the example is just some guy walking along somewhere and seeing a bunch of unsecured WiFi access points. That doesn't show how bad the situation is. That just shows that a lot of access points are unsecured. It doesn't show that people are having their credit cards or identities stolen or having their emails read. If users take the right precautions in their usage of WiFi, there's nothing wrong with using an open WiFi network. People should be taught to take the right precautions when using an unsecured network, but it doesn't mean that everyone automatically needs to lock up their network.

Maybe if we had destroyed the sodomites [pdf] those 3000 people would still be alive. Maybe. But with all these conflicting reports, will we ever really know who is truly responsible for the 9/11 attacks?
