Most all business software is closed source, so everyone in this industry needs to not be complacent that because XYZ is their software that it's secure.

It looks like NATS has a security hole which is/is being/has been closed, I dunno. But you all need to be taking your customer's data security seriously and checking login logs periodically. You, the user are ultimately responsible for that.

We are proactive on these matters, which is why we've been breach-free for some time now
Thats a good point.

I know firms in the UK facing BIG fines. I presume that websites based in the UK could also be subject to BIG fines.
