The Blame Game

The Blame Game 09/11/2004 11:20 AM
9/11: Who do we blame? Ge orge W. Bush? Democrats? Bill Clinton? Ronald Reagan? The FBI? " The government"? Saddam Hussein? God? Maybe it was punishment for years of legal abortion. 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?

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.

"Consumer advocate Ralph Nader's quixotic presidential campaign says it submitted about 5,400 signatures to get on the Michigan ballot, far short of the required number of 30,000. Luckily for him, approximately 43,000 signatures were filed by Michigan Republicans on his behalf, more than meeting the requirement." In a two-part y system, do third parties become nothing but stooges?

Should We Blame Security Victims?

Should We Blame Security Victims? 04/28/2004 04:49 AM
There is always something of a back and forth on who to blame whenever a big virus goes around. Is it the fault of a company like Microsoft for not creating their software in a way to better protect against such things? Is it the fault of anti-virus software vendors who are always a step behind the latest virus? Or, is it the fault of the end-user who is convinced to click a strange attachment despite thousands upon thousands of warnings not to? Walt Mossberg recently wrote a column calling for techies to stop blaming the victims. Instead, he blames Microsoft and calls on them to create a one-stop shop for protecting end-users from any and all security problems. Now, Tim Mullen has struck back and pointed out that people should stop being victims if they want to use computers and the internet. He points out, first of all, that Mossberg's vision of the perfect security protection system is impossible. Furthermore, he explains that no one is expecting end users to become system administrators, but to just do a few basic things to secure their computers from the most obvious of malicious attacks by installing basic anti-virus and firewall software (though, these days, you also need anti-spam software, anti-spyware software and anti-phishing software to really be complete). Mullen's point, however, is that we expect a basic level of competence to drive a car without hurting themselves, or to cook meat without giving themselves food poisoning. Thus, is it really that much to ask users to secure their own computers? The answer, of course, probably lies somewhere in the middle. Software companies and, increasingly, internet service providers, are going to be expected to do more to stop malicious attacks in their tracks - but end users should be expected to handle basic protection of their own machines. Besides, if we really must blame someone for all these malicious attacks, shouldn't it be those who are actually creating them?

Another Thing To Blame On The iPod: Less
Guinness 09/03/2004 12:29 PM
It's amazing the sorts of things they blame on technology these days. Guinness is having a bit of a sales slump these days, and wouldn't you know it, it's because those darn Irish kids are putting all their money into buying iPods rather than heading down to the pub. Next thing you know, we're going to be seeing commercials talking about the poor, poor Guinness plant worker who you are putting out of business by stealing from them by not going to the pub, but rather choosing to spend your money in a way that it does not go into their pockets. The shame of it all.
