This kind of stories is one of the reason I visit Hacker News. Thank you!
It's funny and annoying to read every week or so about another epic fail of a multi-billion "multinational information technology company". Good luck with outsourcing your critical services and medical data to neurodivergents.
Thanks again for making my day.
- dekhn 4y agoI recommend the RISKS mailing list. https://seclists.org/risks/ https://seclists.org/risks/ But note that they sometimes take reliability too far.
- COMMENT___ 4y agoOh, this is great! Thank you. PS Good old usenet. :)
- throwaway5874 4y agoNot outsourcing, its incompetent engineers. Do you know how many american companies got hacked because of 200k enginners istakes? Still some american banks store user passwords in plain text, Allow sim awapping without a proper check and so
- COMMENT___ 4y agoYep, I guess you are right. But I think that some of those engineers come from Infosys-like companies, so they do exactly what they’ve been taught and what they are accustomed with. IDK, maybe it’s a cultural problem? Or is it a problem of following best security practices? I understand that it’s useless to seek answers to such questions. Let’s leave it to philosophers. :)
- notRobot 4y ago> neurodivergents Can you please explain this?
- approxim8ion 4y agoIt's good old-fashioned racism.
- COMMENT___ 4y agoSorry, but it is not.
- approxim8ion 4y agoIn another comment, you ponder whether it is a "cultural problem". Yeah, sorry, but it absolutely is.
- COMMENT___ 4y agoWhat I actually meant was “corporate culture”. Culture != race. Thanks for reviewing my comments, though.
