[QUOTE="93803123, post: 838698"] Technology creates crime. It creates new ways to target and take criminal advantage of the weaknesses. So moving to Linux is only a stop-gap measure. In a nutshell, the attack surface reduction is only going to last as long as Linux remains a geek OS. That has to stop. Until the coddling of people changes, it will only confitnue to get worse. Ignorant users place everyone else at risk.

Here it is becoming more and more prevalent where people are suing those that are responsible for causing damage through careless actions. Employers are able to fire employees for infecting their systems. And they are allowed to sue the ex-employee to recover full costs of fixing the damage. That is as it should be.
