Sounds like government regulations?

Thats typically been the way we've managed these kinds of threats/bad actors, but technology is changing so fast and policy makers are hamstrung by bureaucracy, incompetence, apathy or all three.

Yeah, initially my first reaction was "we need regulations" then I realized that's just not going to possible especially in the future. We need a new corporate structure that can compete and reproduce in the current market.

Or additions to / restructuring of the current regulatory bodies so that they can respond to such things faster.

The legal fiction known as a "corporation" is a government regulation. So there's that.
