I found this thought funny. A few years ago everyone was all learn to code so you don’t lose your job! Now there wont be any programming jobs in 10 years. But we will need a lot of manual labor still.

    Back when I practiced law, I thought the same thing about services like LegalZoom. Thing is, laypeople are terrible at evaluating risk in a professional way. All they see are prices and marketing. Nobody cares about cybersecurity until they get ransomwared AND have a financial motive for preventing it. And most attacked companies now just shrug and hand out a year of credit monitoring from a company no one’s heard of.

        That act doesn’t seem to do anything to avoid the shrugging and free year of credit monitoring we get in the US. Until companies are liable for lost data, I don’t see that changing. I bet it’d change in a heartbeat if monetary loss from identity theft could claimed against any company that lost your data in the last year. Individuals wouldn’t even have to do it, banks would automate that and HOUND those companies for payouts since they’re the ones that take the biggest hits.

      The companies care when it is company money being stolen.

      As an aside, the overlaps between lawyers and tech is huge.
