And this is government software handling sensitive information. I thought people were required to have higher qualifications and good security knowledge to develop software there, we are cooked if this is the norm.
Highly qualified people are probably not interested in working for the government. Or maybe this was outsourced to some cheap private company, who knows.
No cyber security professional worth anything will stand there and say this is a good solution "for the children". They all know it's a bullshit solution to a problem of education. Therefore the only people that will bid for the work will be grifters.
