    No, it’s lack of experience. When I was a junior dev, I had a hard enough time understanding how things worked, much less understanding how they could be compromised by an attacker.

    Junior devs need senior devs to learn that kind of stuff.

      It does help if services that generate or store secrets and keys display a large warning that they should be kept secret, every time they’re viewed, no matter the experience level of the viewer. But yeah understanding why and how isn’t something that should be assumed for new devs.
