That's an interesting point. My other comment suggested one way we could give employees a vested interest in reporting negligence in security and the handling of users' data. You're saying the shareholders (or at least the large ones) should realize this is a risk to their money and act accordingly. Something of a two-pronged approach to keeping a company honest.

Of course. Stock prices tank, dividends disappear to pay fines and restitution, and the board calls an emergency meeting and sends that half-wit packing amidst a cloud of words like "malus" and "clawback".
It goes entirely without saying that a CEO with a failure of that magnitude in his wake is lucky to get a job managing a pizza joint after this.

But now he's experienced in handling issues of this type. It's a bonus for his employment.
