But the fix comes a year after the leak was first disclosed to the company by security researcher Oliver Hough and more than three months after Ars Technica contacted the company’s CEO, Mark Girolamo, about the issue. Unfortunately, this sort of delay is hardly uncommon when it comes to security disclosures, even when the fix is relatively straightforward. And it points to an ongoing problem with the widespread neglect of basic security hygiene in mobile applications.

This isn’t a problem specifically connected to software security, it’s just a function of superhero awesome CEO executive deciderer decision-making in general, and a corporate and economic structure that promotes aggressive narcissistic buffoons over everyone else.

That’s why there’s so little concern: all of the conversations revealed are limited to polite but superficial repartee.
