[IT] Viewing porn nets Teacher possible 40year term

Post by HELLFIRE »

When lax cybersecurity meets anti-porn hysteria, an innocent computer infection can land you in jail. Just ask Julie Amero, a 40-year old substitute teacher who maintains she's a victim of a malicious software infestation that caused her computer to spawn porn uncontrollably.

Now I'm all for nailing ppl to the wall who do not observe obvious
NSFWoS policies in place, but if the existing infrastructure is so compromised,
then those who own / operate the infrastructure should and damn well be
held liable if something like this happens, ie:
At trial, it emerged that the school IT department offered no protection against obscene content or invasive software. The Kelly Middle School's firewall license had expired, leaving the whole system unguarded. To make matters worse, Amero was working on a very old Gateway PC running Windows 98, an extremely vulnerable setup.
I've said it once and I'll keep saying it: Ignorance is NEVER an excuse
