These breaches will continue to happen, and happen...and happen until our limp-dick federal government gives a shit and starts to punish companies for their malicious malfeasance regarding IT security.

Punish won't do anything.

You can't punish lack of ability, just like you don't punish someone for scoring a B at school.

Everything happens after the fact, and no one knows what the next breach will be. And that will continue until the your average Joe's system no longer has 100 vendors each ordained by high management that basically acts as malware themselves.

Someone even started blaming the H1Bs, the mentality is amusing - fix nothing and find blame first and (often) blame it on the wrong thing - I'm glad I don't work for an organization that has the same mentality. Though I can certainly see many of the largest companies and a large percent of people have the exact MO. That also needs to change.

This is the same congress that moved to largely indemnify Equifax?

We are in WW3. It's information warfare. People don't know who the enemy is. They don't even know we are at war.

What punishment do you want? How would you calculate damages?

And until we end the H1B visa and only allow Americans or American allies to run the IT systems of companies in America.

Solarwinds doesn’t have h1bs according to public database probably because they work on government contracts. So how does ending h1b stop this attack?
