Who says they don’t spend any of that for security? Security is not reached by just throwing with money. We don’t know the details how this happened. So I would be careful with premature conclusions like that.
it was eight warehouses - and warehousing/ middle mile logistics is very fraught with give and take
we don’t know what happened but freightwaves is reporting it was at the warehouse level so I’m guessing it was at the consolidation/LTL stage - meaning it was warehousing that has recieved the inventory and is working out how and where to get it to the address
knowing they run a proprietary blend of cargowise freight tech it’s likely the hackers got access to a regional managers account, probably pretty low on the totem pole
You still don’t know how much they spend and how the attack was done. Often security isn’t even a matter of money, but knowledge and trust of your own teammates. Maybe you are right after all, but my point is, we don’t know YET.
Exactly. It only takes one printed picking list not shredded correctly and some asshole dumpster diving and there it goes.
Or a wrongly formatted mail recipient… so many ways for humans to fail it’s funny to always see security reduced to technical measures.

Ok, “spending a fraction of it on piss poor security.”
