Yikes! Who would do this? No Irreal readers, I’m certain. Worse, all these instructions appear to be aimed at developers who should surely know better. I especially like the ones with sudo. Really, if you enter one of those commands into your terminal, don’t be surprised to find your genes excised from the pool.
And what’s up with companies recommending this nonsense? I can promise you that the first time I got that from a company I deal with, it would be the last time I dealt with them. It’s a sure indication that the company knows nothing about security and doesn’t care to learn. It’s also an indication that they don’t really care about their customers because if they did, they wouldn’t be training them to compromise their systems.
