It looks like they did redact the last 4 digits of the person's credit card number in the email. It seems odd they would have done this and not done the same for the name though.

I completely agree. Packt as a publisher is hot garbage. That's not to say every author is bad but but even when you get a quality author with good content, you will have horrific formatting and nonsense like pages with one sentence on

I'm curious why do business at all with a company who has such practices and requires such special workarounds?

And yet there was a time when the same thing could have been said about not having secured cockpit doors.

The last time I was there it was still TSA. How is it? Are they more courteous and/or efficient?

Am I the only one that baffled that the secure cockpit doors remain open for the entire boarding process? It just seems silly.

Who is IMB here? IBM? Can you say what is their Vault competitor?

Can I ask what regulatory domain you are in that requires on-prem HSM(vs cloud offering)? Also do you have a recommendation for on-prem HSM vendors that work well with Vault?

A "fraction" of 20 million is still a lot of salary runway though. They were paid out on 2.5 years worth of that 20 million dollar deal. Even if their deal's earn out was only million dollars a year for 20 years it would be 2

They also signed a deal with Meghan Markle and Prince Harry that was worth 20 million. They agreed to part ways in June. I'm guessing the reason was that it failed to deliver financially. See: https://archive.is/Hgh3V

Wait, you were hired and laid off in the same week? I'm really sorry that happened to you. The fact that that was allowed to happen suggests a very dysfunctional and incompetent management culture.
