Too often the perpetrators of such crimes are rewarded by jobs in computer security rather than punished. That should stop. For example, many libraries these days are short on cash. So they say they cannot afford to buy books. But somehow there is always money for the latest computer equipment, equipment that will be worthless in four or five years.
Books are a more proven, better investment.
Plus they're cheaper. Consider long term investment, not immediate gratification. Think of the side effects of the new toy. Questioning technology should be PART of its development, not an afterthought. Then criticism will lead to better tools and machines, and not be seen as a negative afterthought.
