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
