I've lost count of how many times they have been breached. Why don't they get independent pen testers and get them to test their system? Surely paying a pen tester $5k is much better than the amount of negative publicity you get when you lose $350K

Three times apparently (from the forum):

  Feb ~ 200k USD
  May ~ 91k USD
  Today ~ 300k USD

Depends upon who you're "losing" the $350k to.

Surely paying a pen tester $5k

Can you get a pen tester for $5k? I'd have thought they could command higher rates
