@Hog That’s kinda “programmer error” that caused that one, not modern solutions.
Well that’s a really weird distinction. Presumably the programmer was an employee or contracted to modern solutions at the time it was written so it’s pretty much their fuck up any way you cut it. Modern Solutions as a corporate entity is a name in a registry and an articles of incorporation. “Modern Solutions” isn’t capable of anything, good or bad, if you are going to separate it from its people.
My bad, I was thinking “modern solutions” as an architectural approach…the buzzword. Missed that was the name of the company, but I am still trying to wake up here. Yeah, the company is ultimately responsible for it but I don’t know many people still hard coding credentials in their software distributions anymore given the options and current security risk environment. Ultimately whoever built that made some bad decisions.
At least a significant part of their business is SaaS (the part that’s detailed in the article) in which they are putting their customer’s data (apostrophe is significant) in the cloud so they absolutely need to be on top of shit like that.

Fuck Google! Every time they launch some service and you get used to it, they fucking shut it down. I had Google music and now its gone. Just got into podcasts about a year ago and again they are shutting that shit down. Maybe I need to switch and be an appletard?

Had dinner tonight with an IT VP from Amex tonight and he said they still use mainframes. WTF? Next I will learn that Facebook is fundamentally run on an abacus.

Something like 70% of financial does. Don’t want to work for them, sweatshops and if anything goes wrong they find the lowest ranking person they can pin it on and fire them.

He was saying that the culture was good at Amex and they didn’t have retention issues. From his standpoint though it probably was.

The pressures are immense, every minute down is millions lost. The computers really are their business.
The one my fellow coworkers used to work at were allowed 1 hour of total downtime- on Christmas Day.

@Kilemall pretty normal these days. For the amount of money AMEX spends on infrastructure every year, it better stay up.

A while back a big-ass AT&T fiber optic cable was cut in Mobile, AL and huge areas of internet were cut off from Mobile to Destin, FL.
We will be totally hosed if the internet infrastructure goes down.

Unluckily for us, many of the government lines run under train tracks. Or so they tell me

lol no, honestly had completely forgotten about this forum until going through my yearly password updates in my PW manager. So, hi, I now recall this site’s existence.
But seriously, I used to sell into AMEX, they spend a shit load on infrastructure.
