Adding to @megamindbrian2 &#x27;s answer, seeing so little care in the public sector.<p>Here, in France, there&#x27;s basically no security, all governments&#x27; websites and university services, including identity storage, registration, medical traces etc. is completely unsecured, e.g. no HTTPS, no real password etc..<p>The worst may be when you actually try to speak up and denounce, or at least signal, such flaws, which only receive two types of response:<p>- Ignorance: they just ignore said signals (e.g. attacks that went down, getting silenced)<p>- Disdain: either think we are crazy or they think we&#x27;re some kind of suspicious terrorist warning them of an imminent attack.<p>As a developer that&#x27;s concerned by security, seeing such behaviour really pains me and makes me fear for my future

Convincing people that it&#x27;s necessary.
