my state mandated some minimum security standards for state-run orgs, like MFA etc. which are on the whole woefully inadequate. but also the budgets for IT depts haven't gone up. so the same handful of underpaid IT guys (who regularly and rightly get poached) are saddled with an extra mountain of work while they're already stretched to the limit. this is all YOUR data that's housed in a straw hut surrounded by huffing and puffing wolves
