I worked in a company which ran everything down to MS-DOS
Two years ago I quit a company that was using a database (with sensitive user PII like social security numbers in the db) accessible via unencrypted TELNET. Not SSH, TELNET. I'm not fucking shitting you.
I worked there for one week and was like "fuuuuuuuuuuck this" and lied and said I had a better offer and tendered my resignation. I wasn't part of the IT department and I wasn't going to go down for an incompetent IT department.
Yup. Currently working at a company that has machines still running ms-dos due to them being critical and still working fine.
Well they're fine until you can't find replacement parts on Ebay anymore.
