alt Hacker NewsWhen a coworker leaves the company and I inherit their work, I am given a little bit of time to acclimate and understand the projects they were working on.
If it turns out a secret was exposed in production, or we're exposing PII in logs, or storing CCs or passwords in plain text, there's a certain time frame in which the blame shifts from my coworker for introducing it, to me for not catching it.
That time frame is a lot less than one year.
So where was that outrage before the current administration? The comments in this submission mostly blame the administration. I verified older versions of the apps and found that the wide permissions were there prior to Trump, and now suddenly it’s "hey, but he did not fix it!" This is hilarious, don't you think?
