You store trade secrets in your configuration file? I still don't understand what the big issue is. Can you clarify that instead of critizising my lack of knowledge?
He was in the embassy on his own free will. I can't rape some women and then hide under a rock for 5 years and come out claiming it's fine because I hid. Because that's not how stuff works.
As for rape, what he allegedly did was just that. You can make up your own meaning of the word but they are e completely irrelevant in this context.
Few if anyone on Sweden care about this. It's a normal rape case albeit with a celebrity in it. It should go through the normal process. Hardly something Putin would discuss with Löfven.
Maybe because there are so many incompetent PMs? The PM working I'm working with does not know the product feature set (except for the very basics), does not have any vision or goals, does not have a systematic approach to talking to collecting feedback from customers. What's on our backlog changes dramatically and when project ends we basically start with a new product backlog. When customers have questions on basic stuff he has to defer to engineering.
Any competent hire can be useful, but hiring good PMs is maybe even harder than good engineers. So people bitch.
Sorry but this type of issue often occur because developers has your mindset. I've had so many auditors and security reviewers ask me "how do you hash your password?" but no one has asked me if I log http request, session tokens, outbound emails or any other thing where sensitive data can be transmitted. Nor have they asked me what the actual process for rotating credentials when employees leave, more than "Do you do it?"
The password is stored in plaintext since they could read it via Kibana but I'm guessing you mean that their identity system which they use to store users store credentials in plain text.
To that I say meh: Could just as well be that they decided to log all Http request to troubleshoot some issue without realizing the security implications. The article even says it was a rolling list of passwords which further indicates loggimg since you probably don't store trace logs forever.
