alt Hacker NewsI mean if a company doesn't care about protecting its users' data then any conversation about improving security is gonna be inapplicable to them.
I'd also suggest that companies being so blasé is a direct result of lacking regulation. If there was no laws about aviation safety I bet we'd have more airlines with lax safety standards and more accidents.
This is something I noticed as well.
Because humans were, loosely speaking, careful about not making egregious security mistakes, most security vulnerabilities turned out to be either harmless or the result of a programming language allowing the type of exploit to begin with.
But now we have code from non-people ordered by people who both don't care about security at all.
That means you will get maximally bad security outcomes which in turn will make governments consider regulating the software development industry. They are speed running their own demise.
