When you login at Cisco WebEx, they warn you of criminal liability. However, if you report a security concern at Cisco they treat you like a criminal. Basically, as an employee at Cisco you take on all the liability but they won't protect you from their own negligence.

I'm guessing that if Cisco has a documented/known security issue they are more liable in case of future lawsuits. If they simply don't know about it then they are less liable. Someone did the math and found that non-liable lawsuits are cheaper than paying to have security issues addressed properly.
