The ol' "We didn't think we'd be hacked!" excuse is getting very tired. There was a very small window in time where that was a legitimate excuse, but its been at least a decade or two since that time.
- gabereiser 4y ago“We didn’t think” should be the focal point here. Whether it’s being hacked, or “no one would notice”, or whatever. “We didn’t think” means a hasty launch without thinking about side effects and consequences. Every good team will think about the “what if” scenarios. Any good engineer would have caught this and said “yeah, maybe we shouldn’t do that…”
