Apple Fixes Bugs in macOS Sequoia That Broke Some Cybersecurity Tools 3

Part of the issue, IMHO, is that there is little to no liability for writing insecure code. I've had conversations with several 'lead' developers, and even someone who is now a board member at a Fortune 10 company, that cybersecurity is pretty much a waste of time and effort and should not be worked on. I remember one time, on a project where the general public could literally be killed (it had happened to a competitor just months prior), I noticed that none of the project goals mentioned a word about secur
