Democratic presidential hopeful Elizabeth Warren on Wednesday proposed jailing executives responsible for massive data breaches.
Citing the colossal Equifax breach that compromised the personal records of nearly 150 million Americans in 2017, the Massachusetts senator recommended imprisonment for CEOs as part of a legislative proposal meant to hold corporations accountable.
Ms. Warrens bill, dubbed the Corporate Executive Accountability Act, calls for expanding existing criminal liability to negligent executives of corporations with more than $1 billion in annual revenue that are found liable for the violation of any civil law if that violation affects the health, safety, finances or personal data of one percent of the American population or one percent of the population of any state.
First-time violators would face up to 12 months in prison under Ms. Warrens bill, and repeat offender would risk up to three years if the proposal succeeds.
Corporations dont make decisions, people do, but for far too long, CEOs of giant corporations that break the law have been able to walk away, while consumers who are harmed are left picking up the pieces, Ms. Warren said in a statement, adding that passage would force executives to responsibly manage their companies, knowing that if they cheat their customers or crash the economy, they could go to jail.

Excellent! Finally Bezos is exposed to the same kind of Fascism he inflicted on us.
So, CEOs are now responsible for the actions of hackers, many of whom are operating on behalf of hostile governments? And CEOs are now supposed to be security and IT experts? I think Warren is demanding that CEOs be held to impossible standards. In addition, making cybersecurity into a blame game defeats the purpose of bringing multidisciplinary professionals together with a common goal.
Hmmmm.....I guess her campaign is in real trouble. I blame Beto!
