Or, as in this case, when the cost of ignoring the problem even when caught is trivial.
Make no mistake: $8.6 million is break-room coffee money for Cisco.

Sounds like a good reason to eliminate private insurance and a for-profit health care system in favor of a comprehensive universal single-payer health care system.
May as well go even further and simply transform our health care system to full socialized: hard to argue on economic, human rights, population health or any other metric of social good besides “make a few more billionaires at tremendous cost to most folks” that the nation as a whole would be anything other than better off by doing so.

$8.6m in fines?
That’s like getting a speeding ticket for 50 cents, not much incentive to stop speeding.

Lexicat, I think you meant to respond to a different post. This thread is about Cisco’s failed security.

The nice thing about big companies is that they have the resources to automate dumpster fire lighting at scale, paired with the apathy, neglect and egotism to cover them up. Also the deep pockets to allow fig leaf settlements that allow the public to feel like justice had been served.
It’s a win-win-win!

Finally at S.1 Ep. 3 of Tucca & Bertie, where the ‘Terns’ nice up the ladies’ room with macrame, mirrors, affirmations, candles, and like twice that. Cisco can have a pretty nice break room at $8.6 million (more.)
Kind of a weird price for something that might just have sold more than the 8.6 million. Even the Baby in chief… Clerical capture? Nillion (the QWERTY letter betwixt M and B) having autocorrected to the smallest nonzero denomination? Administration at Pentatillion overpermissive of recapture?
