Discussion on: Containers Under Attack

With containers the security of what is running inside of them may have declined because Developers are now tasked with something that shouldn't be for them to do... at least in a professional level.

Infrastructure is not for developers, but for DevOps, thus the later ones should be the ones creating the Container Stack to be used across development and production.

Trying to be the jack of all ends up in being the Jack of none and in the end Security is sacrificed, because no one can be the master of all.

NOTE:

Thanks for the link, but please next time put (pdf) so that we know we are opening a potential dangerous target... don't trust blindly in PDF's.

I agree, me as a Dev I rely on the devops to do those stuff for me and fix/consult if I did a mistake. I happen to know few more things because I have a passion for these sort of things (cloud, docker..) but is not my call to decide in the end.

PDF's can harm the browser? I presume some attacks can happen if opened by a full-capable reader, but I think the browser is limited, or not?

Well any site you visit can exploit vulnerabilities in the browser to compromise your computer. So always suspect of sites that keep spinning after all content have been loaded.

Regarding PDF's exploits see this article
