It's not all breaches. In fact, because this is the SEC, it's about financial impact, not privacy or security.
It's a good start, but I worry that a financial impact based approach creates the wrong incentive.
4 days!? That's awfully fucking generous. I would have made the requirement at 24 hours because fuck corporations.
Eh I disagree. You have to give companies time to patch their shit. If they disclose hours or days before they have time to patch that can lead to another breach assuming the vulnerability is shared.
But yes fuck Corporations.
This, sometimes not showing all the goods is the best measure. Once it’s known it can become a lot more of a threat.
But yes fuck corporations
Fuck corporations.
Public companies, really? They only managed to gather political will to impose that with securities in mind?
4 days earth time?
