Is this site really unhackable?

Hi

I met a guy over the Christmas period who was a bit of an a***hole when it came to cyber security.

Apparently he is quite high up at a company called Pimberly (pimber.ly) and as I am connected to eCommerce he thought I would be the perfect person to pressurise into buying his software.

I had no interest as I use Pimcore, but enjoyed letting him try his best.

Then we got onto the subject of security and this is where he really went out of his depth. He made the bold statement that his software was impossible to hack! His argument was that because it is hosted on AWS and has a MongoDB backend it is 100% (his words, not mine) impossible to hack and so safe for me to use.

I am not an expert hacker, (ethical or not) as I am just learning, however as far as I am aware any system is hackable given the right amount of time and the right skill set. When I pointed this out he started to patronise me (quite loudly) stating I was misinformed.

Simple question - who is right?

Thanks

As long as humans keep coding shit. Pretty much everything is exploitable in a way or another. Now don't take the word "exploitable" as something huge. It can be a simple XSS attack that does the job. Also, having mongodb as your backend doesn't mean your protected from any type of hackers lol.

Hi,

This is what I thought on the hackable side as there is always a way in.

They are not a competitor as I am in the retail side of ecommerce and use Pimcore, the guy was simply a completely obnoxious twat and I wanted to see if I was right or not.

Thank you for the confirmation.
