Executives Liable for Security Holes?
Another good one from Wired, this time on holding executives liable for lax security. Reminded me of the open access-point post from a few months back.
From Wired:
WASHINGTON -- Hackers, viruses, and other online threats don't just create headaches for Internet users -- they could also create prison sentences for corporate executives, experts say.
Though business groups have lobbied successfully against laws focused on cybersecurity, companies that don't make efforts to secure their networks could face civil and criminal penalties under an array of existing laws and court decisions, according to security and legal experts.

So my question is - should executives be held liable for security holes in their networks?
