| 54. The wi-fi equipment was not defective. It was used improperly |

Edited on Sat May-23-09 08:43 PM by friendly_iconoclast
Some lazy IT person or manager somewhere forgot to use (or chose not to use) strong encryption, and the bad guys used this hole to break into TJX's network.
Is your company responsible for vetting all possible end users of its products?
Is your company liable for an end users' criminal misuse of one of its products if it is not defective?
If not, you are holding them to a lesser standard than you are gun manufacturers.
I'd venture to say because A) You don't like guns, and B) Suits against gun manufacturers and dealers don't affect *your* paycheck...
