What do we care ?

Putting in proper security will just cost us to no benefit - ie we will not make more money.

It will cost us developer time & make our products more complicated so that we will have to deal with extra support calls from the Muppets who buy our stuff - someone has to pay for those support calls y'know!

If some of these do get cracked, they probably won't blame us, if they do we will just send out our press release blaming ''the bad guys'' - we have is already written, it just needs the date putting on it. After a fortnight the broohaha will have died down and our sales will just continue.

If the law were change to make us liable for customer losses we might take notice, we have our lobbyists ready just in case legislators think about this.

Love & kisses: Insteon PR department.
