Security is just one of those areas that you only ever see the importance of when it goes wrong. And that makes people live in an eternal state of denial where they convince themselves it doesn't matter. The security experts then seem like they're just worrying about the sky falling which never happens. Only if it does happen they're also simultaneously the ones who are blamed for it... Sounds like a pretty bad deal if you ask me.

I've seen this play out over and over. Companies that work on incredibly sensitive subjects don't put security first. It's like just something where you "audit it" at the end. All the while, you're just duct taping a bunch of half-working shit together so you can "ship" as fast as possible. Got to get that "traction" in, amiright guise? If customers money gets lost or a bunch of other bullshit happens that's a problem for tomorrow.
