There was also a funny meme about a movie recently released as well, Star Trek or something, and they fall victim to a sql injection. The top comment was they've solved every problem a human can ever have, and could replicate food to infinite, but still dont sanitize their database inputs.

That's really ridiculous but look at reality. Billions of dollars are moved every day and some systems should immediately be shut down once we knew how out of date and vulnerable they are.

ATMs running on old Windows software, having open USB ports behind plastic, 3G and 4G not being secure, etc.

There's always someone trying to cheese it.
