Chris shares his perspective on secure software, vendor accountability, liability, and the role government may need to play in protecting critical infrastructure. The conversation offers a thoughtful look at where cybersecurity has been, where it still falls short, and what meaningful progress could look like. **Things Mentioned:** - **L0pht -** [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/L0pht ](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/L0pht?ref=cybrsecmedia.com) - **Cult of the Dead Cow -** [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cult\_of\_the\_Dead\_Cow](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cult%5Fof%5Fthe%5FDead%5FCow?ref=cybrsecmedia.com) - **Hacker BBS’s -** [https://computerhackerscourse.nd.edu/course-calendar/bbs-early-hacker-social-networks/](https://computerhackerscourse.nd.edu/course-calendar/bbs-early-hacker-social-networks/?ref=cybrsecmedia.com) - **ShinyHunter Article –** - **Secure Resilient Future Foundation -** [https://secure-resilient.org](https://secure-resilient.org/?ref=cybrsecmedia.com) - **CYBR.SEC.CON.
