This whole thing just exposes that people getting paid big bucks for this shit, aint really that smart or planning for anything, they are just collecting rent until something blows up lol

They just pay so when it goes sideways they can hold up their hands and point out a reputable supplier was used and now it's not their problem or blemish on their career.

Yes, an anarchist guy pointed this out to me that in our world responsibility can be delegated via contract while this doesn't make any sense. The responsible person should still be responsible, only the specific action would be choosing those to whom to delegate the obligation for which they are responsible.

Like in Nazi Germany and other fascist states they like to emotionally make only the leaders responsible, while with corps they like to only make the last company in chain responsible.

In fact all chain is responsible. Responsibility is fully contagious.

If this was like this in all laws, we'd have a much better world.

I wouldn't be surprised if the people finding viruses/malwares and detecting them aren't the same people responsible for deployment. And anyway, it's not like smart people make zero mistakes...

I always wonder about that and also all these data "breaches"

Seems like a great way to retire early lol

Economic incentive is there but at least we know that people are honest!
