I'm inclined to laugh at them but honestly what does it even mean at this point to take security seriously?

It appears that the only companies capable of being secure are Google and Apple. Aside them everyone is getting hacked every other day.

Imagine a world where there is no, say, AWS. So many basic security things that we take for granted are automatically set up for you in the cloud, as most shops out there could not care for it to save their own lives.

Companies that torch through millions of dollars of VC money need a nice ransomeware kick in the ass to set up a MongoDB password, and will proactively ignore S3 warnings to not make something public, so what do you expect?

I can imagine it, I see many independent security consultants and companies making money instead of Amazon.
