  I don't think they said "make the site insecure", but they're the
ones responsible[1] for the security of their systems, and they're the
ones that set priorities for their IT efforts.  Gross incompetence
this extreme is a failure to supervise.  Supposedly, that's why
high-level managers make the big bucks -- responsibility and
supervision.

  Until we start seeing some serious repercussions at a high level,
this kind of thing will continue.

[1] Note well: There is a difference between "being responsible" and
"being at fault".

  Nope.  But they're still my responsibility.
