I do IT security stuff for a living. So, "Client X" im not kidding when I say you should have a complex password. No, I don't care that its sucks to have to change it all the time or its hard to remember. Yes, even on top of the fancy firewall you bought. Why? Because you want to use service X directly, which is against my advice.
"Client X" was hacked. Bad guys exploited a commonly used IP port to get on the main server, logged in with "Client X's" account that uses a password that is the SAME as the account name. Morons. Of course, they want to blame the firewall. Its only as secure as you let me make it. I told you leaving that service open was a risk, you didn't care. I bet you do now, eh?
Don't get me wrong, I am happy to serve my clients. The capitalist in me even LIKES it when they don't listen. LOL But still.... Why pay for our advice, then not take it?
