I've seen dumber. In my second real job, I was a book editor, but I noticed our web master literally had a file called accounts.js which held a static array of usernames, passwords, and billing information for all of our customers. I told him this was terrible security, and he said, literally, "You'd have to view source to even know passwords.js exists, and our source is pretty hard to read. I'm not worried."<p>I took all the info to our CEO and got him demoted to server maintenance guy, on the spot, and I took over his job.<p>He later gloated that my store was much slower than his, since he downloaded our entire database as JS flat files and did absolutely everything client-side except payment processing and order fulfillment. I pointed out that my store didn't require 10 megabytes of download for the first page view, plus I had industry-standard security.<p>He was in even more trouble a couple of weeks after that, because some russian hackers pwned our server so bad that we had to drive to the colo and replace it with a new piece of hardware. I've got a dozen stories about this guy, he's a hoot.<p>Okay, last story, I promise; he's allergic to electronics power supplies, so he was the only employee who got to work from home (where he kept his CPU in a separate room from his keyboard and monitor).
