The guys who work at Lockheed Martin programming vehicular data sensors, or who work for medical device manufacturers on MRI machine interfaces - they aren't directly involved in human lives and livelihoods? What about the massive security failures at Equifax? That's not putting people at risk?

Once again, these kinds of industries adapt to the kind of work they do. There are numerous bureaucratic and access-control procedures in place at defense contractors. The FDA has a ton of requirements for anyone working on medical devices.

Equifax was a monumental shitshow. I think SSNs are also a shitshow, but I digress.
