   Suing people for having vulnerabilities always bothers me. Equifax should be hammered HARD - they made a big pile of PII and then were negligent. But Intel found out a thing had unexpected consequences. How do you separate those ideas?

      Well first of all I didn't think you considered companies as people, but also Intel's downplaying PR could be both because they were expecting a lawsuit and the actual trigger.

         What do you mean by companies as people?

               Oh - I see what you mean. Sorry. Just bad word choice.
