Symantec's China Problem Is Our Problem, Too

03:33 | Dan Verton | Jun 26th, 2007 3:43pm |

China wants Symantec to pay damages to about 50,000 Internet users whose computers failed when the company issued a flawed anti-virus update in May.

Homeland Defense Week’s Dan Verton thinks China should pay the U.S. for the mountains of proprietary technology it has systematically stolen from U.S. companies during the past 25-plus years.

Symantec issues an update that threatens computer data security.

The American military-industrial complex has trouble with the security of its so-called “proprietary technology”.

Instead of putting the blame where it is due (Symantec and the military), the American ruling establishment point to whoever is the foreign devil this week. This week it’s China - a year ago it was France. I place my bet that the UK will be the bogey man a year from now.

Americans ought to demand more from business and government. We shouldn’t have to put up with dangerous software and idiot government employees who decide to leave their laptop at the fricken bus stop.
