Perhaps you can quality "client-side security"? You mean never trust the client right?

If they have access to your server they can inline javascript that will do the same thing on the client. The client is not secure, ever. If the users are reusing passwords, it's not something you can same them from except not saving th

This should provide some fuel to the "Internet of Things hacking will bring the world to its knees" people. The vast majority of these devices have no meaningful patching policy. Default username/password is one thing but the

It's really unfortunate that the majority of answers here are "read something". Books are not coaches. They are not structured to be nor are they able to be. Coaches give feedback on performance. We could develop AI to do thi

There are many "enterprise" programmers who don't know how to program. These are not the people who are going to scale your startup. If you think they are, you're going to probably go out of business finding out the co
