they dont need to get their shit together, they need to be found criminally liable and fined a percentage of their stock price. yep, i said that. fuck your stocks
this would only change if this hit verizon where it hurts.. and i mean hundreds of millions per fucking incident paid to the victim. then Verizon might be tempted to do something.
as it is, they are providing the bare minimum of any service required to achieve the next quarter stock 'value'. any fines are the cost of doing business, and who gets that fine money? not the victim.
Stock... Price? You mean fine them some number of shares?
You can't fine the price, that's not how the stock market works.
I mean you could fine them a percentage of the stock price. It is a dollar value. But that would only be a few dollars paid out.
