Their very own software allows you to easily access the Database and change the price/amount/etc of any open tabs, so even if it's JUST the POS that is compromised, it still seems very insecure*...

I'm at a loss as to why they don't opt for the simplicity of updating their software.

Critical data Is at risk, yet they fail to protect It.

Once someone decides to do damage, they will likely change it then

By which time, It may well be too late and the effects are Irreversible.

Identities stolen and built from the ground up, financial Information and funds compromised, online accounts breached and the list goes on. It's subsequent losses as a result of Identifiable Information Initially obtained from the poorly-maintained (In this case) software, that's of significant concern.

Very true. I've seen my fair share of companies who have made slip ups of this magnitude.

Agree.

I've been exploiting companies on every scale for over two decades, and have certainly experienced a lot of Insecurities.
