this is in very very large part because most defenders tend to be hampered by compliance. and since compliance isnt security at all, and it never will be, defenders are forced to jump through regulatory hoops and do a little song and dance to make grc and legal happy instead of actually making systemic changes that makes lives harder for attackers.

@jerry everyone who coincidentally bought new shit in like sept of last year were the last folks to have reasonable pricing. i got a new homeserver, and i thought it was ghastly that i paid ~200 dollars for one stick of 6400mhz ddr5, 32 gig. its 500+ now, and would have been ~130 if i had boughtit a week or two earlier

vuln scanners almost all rely on cve/mitre
most of them exist to make a fictional number somehow continually go down and to the right.
those exist because compliance demands it

thus we have this perpetual cycle of 'make bullshit vulns, then fix bullshit vulns, so it looks like we're doing something'

meanwhile, jenkins, jfrog, and firewall interfaces chilling with default creds on the internet still get popped every day

spammers are now sending fake 'you bought a gun' receipts from paypal, hoping people will call the number and get scammed
