> The customer will be furious when they find out, and everyone who knows about it will tell everyone they know what you did, post about it on reddit/twitter/linkedin, not to mention discords and slacks. It wouldn't matter. People will bitch about it online for a few days and the company will make some lame PR statement about how sorry they are and that they'll take steps to prevent it from happening again but then everyone will move on to the next outrage and the company will continue to thrive. Look at levono, they've repeatedly shipped computers with malware and backdoors, sometimes because they were being paid to, and people still buy them. How many times have router manufacturers included the most brain dead security flaws like hard coded passwords and backdoors? How many companies have leaked private data to the world? Wells Fargo fraudulently opened accounts. HSBC laundered money for terrorists. Microsoft and Amazon were caught illegally harvesting data on children. Philips and Johnson & Johnson outright murdered people by continuing to sell products they knew were giving people cancer. Nobody went out of business. Even CrowdStrike is still around. The most universally hated companies in the US are also among the most successful.
