I guess that you have read about the hacker that got a 30-year sentence for hacking TJX Maxx. That got to be the longest sentence ever for a hacker. But there is an aspect that story that often is forgotten. The company got busted as well owning up to potential liabilities of $118 million. It would have been cheaper for them to invest in some knowledge and systems for proper IT Security. The U.S government is also looking to change the system so they can fine a company for this kind of bad behaviour. In a way this is good news for all struggling IT-Managers out there to find time and space with their managers to talk about IT-Security issues..and as I always say…it is always the management of the company that is responsible.
