I've been that guy.
Job got shunted off to India by US led management who decided cheaper was the way to go and dumped the entire team.

From conversations with former colleagues I understand that there are now 4 people trying to cover the stuff I did and they are coming up short even a year and a half later.

Submission + - Ask Slashdot: Security review tales

TreZ writes: If you write software, you are most likely subject to a "security review" at some point. A large portion of this is common sense like don't put plain text credentials into github, don't write your own encryption algorithms, etc. Once you get past that there is a "subjective" nature to these reviews.

What is the worst "you can't do" or "you must do" that you've been subjected to in a security review? A fictitious example would be: you must authenticate all clients with a client certificate, plus basic auth, plus MFA token. Tell your story here, omitting incriminating details.

"Ret assured, there will be a multi-million dollar lawsuit filed by the family that will get settled out of court for an "undisclosed amount". (around 4 million is par)"

Very unlikely, it was in the UK, we don;t get settlements anywhere near that level

Why this one made the paper, I can't tell you. Probably a customer was savvy enough with social media and decided to burn the bank. I guess they should just be happy the public in general doesn't realize how many problems and how much actual work goes into making banking seem reliable and secure.

A lot of benefit payments and tax credits were due, as these are expected payments from the Government to people who may be relying on that money it was quicly decided to get the story out. As someone mentioned above, at the poorer ends of society, those little handouts midway through the month can mean a lot to a working family.

Sort out your timeline, the videoing of other customers was a few days prior to this incident, where she saw other customers buying multiple devices when she was refused.

It was on her return to the store and again refused service that led to her being "tazed".

The interesting point is the Police depts guidance. They can use a tazer to overcome passive resistance - wtf?
