Note-to-self: Normalization of deviance in security: how broken practices become standard [must read]

If you would search the internet you’ll quickly find the original quote… “Normalization of deviance in software: how broken practices become standard”

All credits go to the original post: http://danluu.com/wat/

And to honor the truth completely, the hint was posted by Joe Richards at http://blog.joeware.net/2016/01/04/5683/
Joe has highlighted some important remarks in his blog post. But there is more…

What reasons do people or companies have NOT to implement best practices or ‘forget’ to implement them.
What easily becomes accepted as normal, why not speak up if you think something is wrong…

Just replace the ‘software’ in the article and title by ‘security’ …

Simply must read!
[Or actually, simply must implement, every day.]
