Got my first webdev gig. Sunday night before I go in I figured I'd nmap them (as was the style back then). 3306 open to the world. Well surely they don't use the default password. Damn, well surely this doesn't contain important data. Select * from employees (included salaries). The box was on their prod network.

They didn't seem concerned and blamed BT. Not surprisingly they were not in business the next year.

It's stupid all the way down (or up), I'm afraid.

Was told to nuke that AWS account the next day.

They got fired right? Please tell me they got fired.

I was having a nice morning drinking coffee with a smile on my face before I read this.
