Yeah I mean the cost has always been there but this is the first time I recall lots of media coverage around the reality that incidents like this can cost billions, seems like it's finally sinking in.

I wonder how much this is influenced by shows like Mr. Robot where the entire plot revolves around infosec bringing down the world's massivest corporation.

Of course Mr. Robot could itself be a symptom of the zeitgeist.

I don't think many people understand what computer security means either way and to get a qualitative answer, you need to know about almost every aspect of development AT A PROJECT LEVEL. what is a potential buyer going to ask, "how's your computer security?" - "it's great, ok"
