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.
I’ve seen POS systems in local burrito shops still running Windows 7… native, not a VM…
I saw a bottle return machine running Windows 98.
I worked in a company which ran everything down to MS-DOS

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.
The voip call manager in my last shop was running off win95.
