    Well obviously your company has a strange view of what a senior developer is if he made those trivial errors.

    When I set up a AWS based system for part of reed Elsevier I made damm sure that I was only running the services I needed and I locked it down so that only people coming from our ip could access the web side of the system. And both I and My manger kept a strict eye on what we where spending on AWS.

    Ideally I woudl have liked to lock it Down further with ssl certs to secure the link between my system and the API I was interfacing with but unfortunately the company that provided the api hand thought about security at all

    So what happens when the MSS starts using the data to blackmail people working for government or list X firms or the tabloids bribe ISP staff to tell them if a celeb/ member of the royal family has any interesting sites that he/she attempted to visit The data from this is very sensitive so will ISP's start having to implement strict security controls and auditing run an internal security team and have staff with access to the data on people internet history positively vetted - none of these are cheap and a lot of people wont want or be-able to pass vetting.
