Re: More insecure IoT, now more creepy!

Over in HK & China it works like this:

You get hired.

You know almost fuck all about programming, but you are good at talking.

you get onto git hub or stack overflow for C&P your code, but most important you throw up a few screens for the MD to look at and you bullshit.

most of these guys would not know security if it bit them on the ass, i do work for a company where thier "programmer" built a whole business system that is just screens, no code written just "under construction" but it does have great graphics.

Language handling is done by having (screen * number of languages) and most of the code so far is just patch on patch on patch.

But MD's don't want to know, becasue they see the money going out to pay you.. but don't see the results... unlike the over paid guy who can throw up a screen in 30 min.

if a security guy does his job , then there is "nothing to see"

How do you justify a salary if there are no "measurable results"?
