GillBates0's Journal: Executives complain about software vulnerability

This submission was rejected, but I think it's an interesting story:

According to this CNN story, Chief executives from 150 of the largest U.S. companies (including Coca-Cola, Alcoa, Boeing, Burlington Northern, Deere and General Motors) are lobbying against the technology industry, accusing them of selling software vulnerable to hackers and too difficult for consumers to use safely. The group cites estimates from the nation's banks and savings institutions that attacks by viruses and worms cost that industry more than $1 billion a year. Their complaints "reflect exasperation by companies over the expense and hassle of keeping their computer networks safe for consumers". Interesting that they seem to be addressing about the entire "technology industry", when most of their complaints stem from software produced by a single Company. Good to see Joe MegaCorp industries beginning to realize the importance of computer security, nevertheless. Hope it's not too late for them to withdraw their grandiose Windows ATM plans.
