It's important to remember that even if you hate Trump, a lot of people really do support him, and their reasons aren't all irrational. I am willing to bet that the reason Peter Thiel supports Trump has nothing to do with homophobia, or even hate. Attacking his supporters like this does nothing but shut down communication, which is the only way we can ever overcome our differences.
Of course, the legal solution of punishing the guy who did it is already available, if you can find him, and if he lives in a country with laws friendly to that sort of thing.
Time for a license to get on the internet, eh? You need to pass a test about keeping your system patched.
And for those companies releasing IoT products with open FTP ports, may they die in a fire.
This is how it should be. Organizations need to embarrassed and publicly shamed for having lousy security. Otherwise they will never fix it (see also: linkedin, yahoo, verizon, etc). If they don't fix their security, terrorists win.

That goes for Clinton supporters, too.
Livestreaming on TV is so much different than having it go over Twitch. It's a whole magnitude level up.
We must gamify it.
If it does become a problem like you suggest, then it can be modified slightly, to:
Sue companies when they do stupid shit.
There are too many cases of clear negligence.
Perhaps you missed the fact that this CEO is a *WOMAN*, which makes her a hero and an inspiration.
It's irrelevant.
I've said it before, but these companies need to be sued into the ground. It's the only way things will ever change.

Not me. What a douche.
Full destruction of the company is the only way to stop these kinds of stupid things from happening. Plaintext passwords are negligent, have been known to be negligent for longer than the internet has existed.

This is why we can't trust corporations by themselves. Even security companies don't care about security.
If you find a vulnerability, companies must be exposed loudly and embarrassingly as possible. That (or legal threats) are the only things that can stop them.
Remember, there are companies out there that still don't hash passwords.

Oh, absolutely; this will NEVER happen to gmail!
The price for this data is almost enough that it's worth bribing an insider for it.
Cisco needs to pick up their game. They need to be embarrassed harshly and completely, so they learn to not do this again.
