Especially one of the companies which is lets say a cheepo outfit. They skunked everyone in an area where my folks live by getting all sorts of free stuff from the taxpayers to build a million square foot warehouse and when it opened they only paid minimum wage not the much better than minimum wage they touted. Now they actually have to bus in folks from another state to work there.
I knew at least two folks who worked for them in IT who noted how “minimalist” they were. I remember reading about how they were hacked so easily. The stores had wireless networks for the handheld scanners. The wireless networks had only a weak WEP key and were not firewalled from the internal network. Once the hackers got in they found everything had default passwords and they were able to get to anything they wanted on the corporate network.
