    Sadly, most developers don't know this and continue to write from frontend, almost all of the apps and websites we found did this.

    I agree for the most, but there was some good apples (even though very few) that were very thankful and fixed it fast.

    True, but also better than threat actors getting to it and dumping the DB, causing more problems for the customers.

    I agree, but I also disagree. The concept with firebase DB's is flawed IMO, I never got the point of directly accessing a DB in the frontend, or allowing that even with security ru…

    We believe the gambling ring is based in Indonesia, which is uncommon to use Line, but they seem to be using it here for all of their customer support across all sites.

    I really doubt that this will be google's downfall, theyre too big to fall right now. I think it will be laws.
