Pff. Either he didn't knew about it or marketing can overrule him. Reminds me of a nice security mail my company sent out:

The customers where advised to check all incoming emails where sent from our domain, contains the users full name and shouldn't contain any links or attachements.

Except for attachements, the email violated all of those rules. For extra happy points the links all redirected to some third party statistics website that then redirected the user to us. The statistics website had an invalid SSL certificate. Prompting many customers to believe our website was "hacked"

It was a fun week for customer service. Marketing managed to somehow get extra brownie points from management for getting the customers interested in security despite those fuck ups.
