    Don’t these companies know how to properly configure a database? This seemed like it was completely preventable.

      Starting salary for a cyber security expert is around 70,000€ and that’s for someone who’s relatively inexperienced so you would probably want to pay more like 90,000€, for these startups that’s seven or eight employees worth of salary and they don’t want to pay it.

      The problem is it leads to things like this happening which kills their entire company.

      Or they could do what they’re doing now which is work with a consultancy company which doesn’t cost anywhere near as much money but still costs quite a bit.

      Lots of breaches are entirely preventable, but lots of companies don’t like to pay for qualified employees that could prevent them.
