To be fair.. If this guy would have hired a dev team, the same thing could happen.

But then they'd have a dev team who wrote the code and therefore knows how it works.

In this case, the hackers might understand the code better than the "author" because they've been working in it longer.

True, any software can be vulnerable to attack.

but the difference is a technical team of software developers can mitigate an attack and patch it. This guy has no tech support than the AI that sold him the faulty code that likely assumed he did the proper hardening of his environment (which he did not).

Openly admitting you programmed anything with AI only is admitting you haven't done the basic steps to protecting yourself or your customers.
