Honestly, in this case, the company in question are even bigger finks because they don't actually care about fixing a vulnerability that could cost them money.
If that speaks to their security practices, well... Let's just say I wouldn't be surprised if customer data was all in an unsecured, unencrypted, plain-text Microsoft Word document.
Im very amused at it being in word rather than .xlsx or .txt, like them going out if their way to make it worse because word is all they know.
