The fact he was able to usually means something is lacking in the backend security. Yes, bad employee, but more encryption and security models are required. Back when I was working on share trading software, this was one of our requirements of the system.
This is what happens when end-to-end encryption isn't the default in communications software. All email providers are vulnerable to this bar none.
It's sobering to think about this in tandem with the fact that people in the IQ bracket for “engineer” tend to get away with crimes. Honestly, though, at least this can be turned into a concrete example to shoot down “if you don't have anything to hide...” and the like. The banal, lascivious panopticon elicits a real disgust response that might be moving, as opposed to the “shut up you alex jones weirdo” that sticks…
Just for the sake of feedback, I found your post confusing. It's not really clear to me what you are saying exactly.

Agreed, Google Finance is garbage. I talked with a Google recruiter and asked if there were any positions at Google Finance, and she thought I meant in the Finance department, not on that particular site. There's so much that can be done with it, and Google has abandoned it.

The fall of Google finance is astounding. You can go to https://finance.google.com and search for "Slack" with no results. You can search for "WORK" (Slack's stock symbol) with no results. You have to actually type "NYSE:Work" to have it show up in the search results. It's astonishing.

Encryption, in email? lol... This is what happens when end-to-end encryption isn't the default in communications software. All email providers are vulnerable to this bar none.

I ask myself the same question, especially when it was announced on HN they just spent cash on a new branding logo https://www.underconsideration.com/brandnew/archives/new_log...
Working for Pentagram seems sweet. Huge cool designer cachet despite the fact that all you do is redesign logos and branding for incredibly uncool legacy corporations
Chris Putnam, who used to work at Facebook, did almost exactly the same thing with videos.

Honestly I'd like to see one of the webmail providers do a decent attempt at gpg. The web migrated from a primarily unencrypted state to an encrypted one - it's not impossible with the right UX.
I truly don't understand how Yahoo still exists. How have they survived this long?

The strategy positions Yahoo as an “amplification brand,” amplifying the things that matter, helping to “amplify you.”
So, umm, I guess I have no idea what they do.
