So again, it’s all just bullshit hopes and dreams by the anti-doge people. No data has been exposed or hacked, no evidence of it actually being on anything insecure.
In cyber security you may never know if a bad actor got access to your systems/data. The issue with not following good security practices is that you increase the risk of this happening.
Its like saying we should stop mandating vaccines cause the diseases aren't around anymore. When you let down your defenses you end up with outbreaks that shouldn't have happened and are harder to control.
If they're using Azure or AWS then they have a level of built in good security practices. These people aren't morons, they know what they're doing. In fact, using AWS or Azure you have to fuck things up to make it insecure, because by default they're all pretty locked down.
I'm 100% a pro-vaccine person, but vaccines should not be mandatory. "My body, my choice" - isn't that the saying? Or is that only for women wanting an abortion? If someone doesn't want to get a vaccine then they can suffer the potential consequences while those who are vaccinated don't (but they have to deal with the potential side effects of the vaccine).
