Is there something about this story that makes you think it's an issue of negligence rather than a capable intruder? We keep getting told that total security is impossible. Isn't this inevitable? Is it just that they waited too long to disclose it?
- orblivion 7y ago(clarifying since I've gotten one downvote as of now): Of course we should all be mad about the general state of computer security. I'm just trying to figure out if I really should be avoiding DoorDash in particular or is this just a straw breaking a camel's back?
- geocar 7y agoSecurity is a cost/benefit decision, not a binary one. More security costs more. Putting the drivers licenses and bank details of employees in the same database as the credit cards and names of customers is cheaper than putting them on separate databases. Putting them on the Internet is cheaper than having a separate network. Turning off your logs "when you don't need them" is cheaper than leaving them on all the time. If anyone says "total security is impossible" you just say: So fucking what? That's not an excuse for spending as little on security as possible, and you know someone isn't serious about security if they avoid admitting they are responsible for the security in the first place.
