You're replacing a system in exactly one year. Do you continue to hunt for and remediate/mitigate vulnerabilities up until replacement time or do you blow it off since it'll be replaced, anyway?

A U.S. startup is selling your hacked, stolen data to anyone with $50 An exposé details how anyone with a credit card can get easy access to a huge database of stolen personal information, sold in the open.

You have a system that's going to be replaced in a year. Should you continue to update it and conduct periodic security testing until you're ready to retire it or should you just let it go? I know my feelings. Anything could happen within that year. Is there a best practice for this?

A new medical provider created an account for me. Then, they emailed me my username and password - in the same email - in cleartext. The password was 6 numbers. Argh! I did have to change it the first time I logged in. They give new users 30 days to do so. Everybody logs in right away, right? Right?

Should accessibility be built into an application/website the way security is supposed to be or should it be left to someone else to implement during the SDLC? Is it the developer's job?

I don't think of it as a baseline as I've heard of others doing. I use it mostly for research. If I discover a particular vulnerability, I can check out the Top 10 to find more info. I also use it when training others on my team. I'm a team of one, but some of our developers assist me when they can.

When you license art for your project and it says "AI Generated," are you really required to give the "artist" credit? All they did was tell AI to create an image that looks like "this." Are you really an artist if software creates it for you?

Is it too much to ask that a new movie not be recolored and full of cartoonish CGI effects? How about a real soundtrack and not generic background music? Remember when the hero and villain each had their own theme?

Train your developers to write more secure code. Where to start? Keep it simple at first. Get them to ensure that their framework, dependencies, and headers are all up-to-date. I created a two-page checklist for them to use on every project.
