I also mentioned it to the sales guy, but he was unfazed, which I think shows a lack of respect for customer privacy, even though he probably didn't realize it.

- themodelplumber 8y agoThis is really unfortunate but all too common. Sales guys are typically (as a type/group) improvisational in nature. They actually thrive in insecure environments, because solving problems as they occur (i.e. putting off security for later) gives them more freedom and flexibility _right now_, which is what they crave. They tend to wonder "why are you using valuable money-making time to secure that which is constantly expanding--maybe we won't even need this system tomorrow" and so on. (So goes the thinking; it obviously has its pros and cons...and HN readership eats these guys' psychology for breakfast anyway, with a generally systems-focused mindset)
