VeriSign was repeatedly hacked: report
Absolute transparency is a core requirement in security, despite what people may think.
Without being transparent and honest, especially when egos, boards of directors and corporate entities/cash are involved, we get information asymmetry on the risk of global commerce.
Yay for verisign. Perhaps a couple of billion dollar fine plus something heavier (incarceration time?) for the execs for non-disclosure of these issues could be a good thing.
