Dooood! What the? Okay, check this out. Bob Starr made this website called Boomberg to track where US tax dollars go. Yeah, the site shows how much dough big tech gets from Uncle Sam. But months after putting it up for everyone to see, he found a huge flaw. There was an SQL injection risk hiding in there. This means anyone could've hacked the whole thing and who knows what damage they might do with that info. How about we check if something works before inviting everyone over? Bob, next time use your brain before you break wide open for boombergs. Duuude... What the. (sigh)
Boomberg is a website created by Bob Starr to track how US tax dollars are allocated to big tech companies.
The site had an SQL injection vulnerability, which could have allowed hackers to access and potentially misuse sensitive financial data.
The security issue was identified months after the Boomberg website went live, highlighting a significant delay in identifying critical flaws.
SQL injection allows attackers to insert malicious code into an application's database queries, potentially leading to data theft or system compromise.
DOOOD satirizes the lack of thorough testing and oversight in launching such a sensitive platform without proper security measures in place.
