Comment Seriously... (Score 1) 164

would anyone ever have guessed Snoop would sell out so hard? Everyone mellows with age but I thought he'd sold out completely when he appeared on a Katy Perry tune. Now he's pimpin Norton software? "Hack is wack?" Really?

Next thing he's gonna be doing infomercials for the Snooptisserie Oven.

I wouldn't be surprised if the actual number is much, much higher. This has always been a problem with software development, I'm not sure why anyone thought it got better when apps became web-based. When your business depends on apps being up and running (or running the newest, coolest features) security is usually not the highest priority.

As a vendor I sit in meetings all the time with app architects and even security people (up to and including CISOs) at some of the biggest corporations in the world who freely admit to the horrid security holes in their apps. Worse, a lot of them think their packet inspection firewall will protect them. Layer 7 attacks are still not very well understood or appreciated by a lot of IT people.
