Re: Hacking in the Republican Debate

[Dave Aitel <dave () immunityinc com>]

And on that note, here's my idea of the day: Cap and Trade Hacking Credits.

How it works: You set up a government agency which will validate
economic espionage. When they find it, they give the affected company a
Cap and Trade Hacking Credit for some  value of penalty. The company can
choose to either apply these directly as a tariff against one of their
competitors from the offending country, or sell them to another domestic
company.
