On a more meta note, I wonder who even works at companies founded on ideas that are just... bad. On average, I expect good engineers to push back on such business requirements and also have better job mobility so they can leave and work elsewhere. The researcher found the vulnerabilities "in less than 30 minutes" so it seems there's some lack of competence here.

Unfortunately, misguided business requirements like this won't simply disappear and I get that those can be niche offerings that attract juicy contracts.
