I started watching a YouTube video on Azure DevOps. I can't have the sound turned up where I am, so I turned on subtitles. This is as far as I got before I needed to take a guffaw break. I've worked with plenty of databases which deserved this treatment.

It seems fitting that Entity Framework would be described as modifying databases that way 🙂

I understand. But who did the injection, and who was tasked with preventing it? Was it an internal or external resource? The details regarding security are as important as the irony.
They haven't released the details. It's only known that it was a web application vulnerability happening since last December and it's now patched.

I guess that's the word for it. They need some paid help especially in the area of some training.

Yeah, this is the ugly truth behind DevOps.

I just presented a new session on SQL Injection at Techorama in Belgium and before that at SQLDay in Poland. As part of the prep, I did searches on recent breaches caused by Injection. There are so many. It's completely disheartening. The Georgia Tech one was bad. A worse one was iDressUp, a kids site. It's just nuts that we're dealing with this crap after 21 years of knowing how to fix it.

Yes, it's insane that it isn't taken more seriously. People will say that they take it seriously, but then not give the people what they need to do it correctly. They hire people who don't know, don't train them, impose unrealistic deadlines and then complain about how much stuff costs. It all starts with the education people don't receive and that feeds the hiring. Like Jeff says, "They know the cost of everything and the value of nothing."
The managers are also the ones to have CYAs and DKs lined up, cover things up for months after a breach occurs and then release as little detail as possible to the public. Just look how bad the the USPS or Equifax ones were. I have a presentation that has a "slide of shame" with some of the larger hacks and it's sad just how busy it is.
It's way past time for companies to take security seriously. The attitude of management and bad development practices have gotten the IT industry to where it is today.

I had hopes that the GDPR would actually start to move the needle on this stuff, but I don't think it's going to. It's pretty clear that businesses are going to undermine all the laws and take the teeth out of them so that we can carry with business as horribly usual.

I'll also say that we dumb down early examples, POCs, and frameworks too much early on. We provide (and many of us as speakers are to blame), poor practices that people try to build on. I can't quite decide how to make better examples, but I have started to try and ensure I always show stupid long passwords, don't use dynamic SQL in an app view, etc. Give someone more secure copy-pastable code.

I think it is, but slowly, and not consistently. Bigger companies keep finding ways around them, but smaller companies are doing a better job in many cases. I've been surprised how much better some of the data catalog stuff has taken off, and there do seem to be better new code. The hard part is little value in changing old code unless you get hacked.
Most managers (even some devs) would rather roll the dice and leave old code alone

I didn't know about that one. Thank you, Wayne. It'll be included in future versions of that presentation.
