This reminds me of a time we pranked the *head security guy* at a company I
worked for and easily convinced him to give us some private details like

Yes, it is like the easiest way to get someones password is to just ask
them for it. Surprising how many people will give it to you once you have

A site I was working at last week required us all to take a security class to
help keep their systems secure. The class was the usual mind-numbing stuff.

I do find it amusing when I hear these stories though, where companies think
the data is safer or more secure or more private on premises than somewhere
like Azure.

company I’ve walked in to, and I’ve been to a lot.
