Is there a fine for this? Some sort of punishment? Companies need to be taking security seriously, we are all paying the price.

Internet-of-Shit will remain exactly that until neglecting security is a substantial threat to the bottom line of a company.

They ignored multiple warnings? Got hacked multiple times? This is negligence, and this company should be fined out of business.




Judging from other comments, it seems they're on the way out anyway. But the question of fines etc. is interesting...


The corporation might be, but this seems like the level of gross criminal negligence that a person should be held liable for.


I'm not necessarily disagreeing but that seems fundamentally opposed to the way a LLC works.


Failing at business is one thing, doing people-hostile things should be another. I'm all for reducing the personal risk of doing business for entrepreneurs, but for antisocial actions, there should be personal consequences.
