I wish the communications of politicians get hacked and their plans leaked. They don't care unless it happens to them.
You are correct. Having worked in information technology, I realized pretty quickly that management is always reactive and never proactive.
In the words of pentester Jason E. Street in his defcon talk "kill everyone, destroy everything, cause total financial ruin" - "the best way to get management excited about a disaster plan is to burn down the building across the street."
If a government got hacked big time because of a back door, they would probably become a lot less interested.
I need to watch this Defcon talk
