alt Hacker NewsYeah, if they had spent the time and money to roll their own that got hacked, they'd be responsible. Now, they can just clap their hands and show them palms up to you like a black jack dealer and walk away from the table with no responsibility. Probably one of the biggest benefits of using a product instead of building your own.

You’d think this is how it works but universities and schools will still end up holding the bag at the end of the day, irrespective of who is responsible.
It's annoying that this is how internal politics usually works. Decision-makers at an org should be considered just as responsible when a third-party choice goes bad as when an internal tool goes bad.
