The correct response is recognizing the flaws in our Finchinal System and fixing those.

The Response should be shifting the Liability back to the credit providers, not the consumers

The idea of "Identity Theft" should be a thing of the past, for you did not have your identity stolen, you still have your identity, no the bank was defrauded by giving money to someone they did not properly vet. 100% of the liability should be on them, not the person who they claim had their "identity stolen"

the Liability for financial Fraud in the US is 180 degrees from where it should be.

Launching missiles at China may make you feel good, but it does not solve the root cause of the problem



You should re-read what I said. No where do I see me saying physical force had to be used.

"Fixing" takes a long time that does not mean one should not deter attacks on the current system. How does one respond to a broken legacy software system that can be taken advantage of? You restrict the actions that can be performed on that system until it is replaced.


Yes I look internally to Mitigate the attack surface,I do not think about "reverse hacking" to "make them pay"

No the response from me, internally is, is how did they get in, how can I plug that hole, and how can I make my systems more robust.

Your response is making china (the hacker) pay, in order to "prevent" future attacks, that is simply naive IMO nor it is a viable solution.


deter - discourage (someone) from doing something by instilling doubt or fear of the consequences.

^ this is the deter I am talking about.

APT is on a different level than what you are used to. Also my question was rhetorical. Didn't actually mean for you to answer it. For you or your company it is not a viable solution since you don't have the resources.
