They arent responsible, subcontractor is. As I posted some time ago:

"The very first thing University of Washington Center for Information Assurance and Cybersecurity (accredited by U.S. Department of Homeland Security, whatever that means) teaches you about becoming a CIO is precisely delegating responsibility :)"

So they're teaching idiots to hand off responsibility to other idiots and only cover their asses legally. What sort of irresponsible education do you have in the US?

Creating plausible deniability is one of the top required skills for upper management anywhere.

I fail to see how this brings ANY value to ANYONE, other than those who explicitly wish to engage in abuse of authority. I also fail to see how teaching this as a skill in university is any better than teaching advanced pocket picking skills to school children as part of the standard curriculum.

So, you'll excuse my potty mouth, but I have to repeat myself - EVERYONE engaged on either side of this practice is a certifiable idiot.

Amoral and sociopathic maybe, but they aren't idiots.

So the bullet is responsible, not the guy who pulls the trigger?
