The Inquisitr: Subway Hacking Case: Who’s Out of Line?
-
CyndyA · 1 year agoI've debated this with my husband more than once. It's been shown time and time again that companies, even when informed of exploits, still manage to ignore them, assuming no one will actually use them or find them, or who even knows what. In an open source project, yes, I find it good will to fix the error rather than just report it. But with closed systems where there seems to be a good amount of sloppy design and programming, and then a reliance on others to fix it, I don't think there is any incentive to hold it, and I'm glad the EFF has taken this on. Is the MBTA going to pay them to hand-hold? Otherwise, all bets are off.
