According to Reuters,
Microsoft may be about to face a class-action lawsuit that
claims software security holes could lead to "massive,
cascading failures" in global computer networks.The law that
relates to this is a California statute guaranteeing the
privacy of personal information in computer databases.
It remains to be seen whether this has any traction or
not. Microsoft may in fact be protected from this kind of
legal attack by what's contained in that tiny fine print on
the software packages. Or by judges. Or by the Justice
Department. Or by political advantage. Or by cultural
cynicism and despair. We admit to having a soupçon of
the latter and doubt that anything short of the massive,
cascading failure predicted by the plaintiffs' lawyer will
ever have much effect. We're glad the security issue is
getting more attention these days, of course.
