Heh, that's not how most people think. It's more like:

Security! It's a total non-issue! Why would anyone want to break my app?

Most people seem to feel this way until their apps are dumped, rooted, hacked, or they just end up thinking security is cool and say "Man, I didn't realize how much of a mess I had before."

Basic scans need to be part of the CI workflow of startups these days. The same QA tier you use for Selenium and what not you should just throw Nessus/SQLMap at and have injections/vulnerabilities of the web stack fail builds as well.

Completely agreed. And actually, this is a large part of what Tinfoil is currently working on building. If you have suggestions, we're all ears.

It's all too common to hear people not caring until its too late. At least with all the skiddies running around nowadays it's harder for anybody rational to ignore.
