News for hackers. Stuff that matters.

I am really worried that this is where the focus around "security" is going to end up leading, and in so doing kill the spirit of hacking around. Kill any competitor or software startup by requiring a long checklist of "security" items before any software can be sold, or used.

And most of it will be security theater that looks good but does little to actually support secure computing because at the end of the day Bob is going to plug in a USB that Mallory drops in the parking lot that says "XXX Pics".

Agreed. Most of the "security" I see coming out of these companies serves to secure their own revenue streams, and then it's pitched to users as existing for their own benefit.

Yup, regulatory capture is coming for your software.
