Claude: drops production zone with the database and backups

Meatbags: hold my beer...

These are the cases why I understand HR kicks people out immediately during a layoff. But then the employee cries inhumanity and desires that they have access for weeks, when they no longer need to. It’s a risk that’s proven unwise. Blame the layoff, not the access revocation

Dude gets A++ on penmanship, seriously someone should make a font.

This makes sense but also an employee who is dishonest is also a security risk; fired or not.

It's ridiculous that companies don't seem to care about ethics. They never seem to select candidates based on proven ethics. They don't even ask any such questions.

For example, I've been in at least 2 situations where I had the ability to inflict major damage to companies which had treated me very poorly and I could have legally gotten away completely whilst doing variants of 'the wrong thing' and profiting but I didn't do it because I have principles. Unfortunately it seems that few people do nowadays. Leaders are fooling themselves if they think they can completely factor out ethics and make it all about aligning incentives. Incentive alignment creates its own problems as this alignment requires constant maintenance and it's both expensive and detrimental in the long run. These people will tend to sabotage every aspect of their responsibilities which isn't directly measured... In order to gain leverage. It's not clever. It's crooked. Should not be rewarded.

My experience as a software developer is that managers alway have lots of blind spots and the wrong people will take advantage of all of them, even when it negatively impacts the company.

The penmanship of the guy is extremely neat, like, uncannily so

"On Feb. 1, 2025, Muneeb Akhter asked Sohaib Akhter for the plaintext password of an individual"

Why the hell were passwords being stored as plain text?

I know approximately nothing about security, but even I face palmed at this.

Asked for the plaintext password, and then his brother made a “ database query on the EEOC database and then provided the password”.

I wonder how many government dbs store passwords in plaintext…

Also, these guys sound like sociopaths. I bet some of their peers felt constant discomfort and threat just being near them.

imagine the delete-fest the current whitehouse is going to do in a few years

all with pardons waiting so they can't be convicted

they might not even wait a few years
