The medical profession seems to be the worst when it comes to
proactivally addressing the security issue (insurance is cheaper than
fixing the problems)..
Financial instituts are the quickest at it. (I guess money is worth more
than life)
No, its not the threat of the loss of human life that motivates a
company to fix their security problems, its los of money.
