Various theories of criminal liability could certainly be applied
e.g. attractive nuisance (like leaving an unfenced swimming pool for
children to drown in). However this kind of very plausible action
would take an aggressive public prosecutor with a good computer
forensic staff and a seriously injured victim. Since the public
prosecutors can hardly handle the criminals at MCI, Enron, the leading
finance firms, we may have to wait a while.
