And no-skilled attackers can buy exploits.
Claude helping is insignificant to the story.
The real headline should be:
At least 14 companies' IT security is practically non-existent
It is significant because a random teenager can't google "download exploits" and have them available 5mins later.

Sure, people can buy guns. But what if every person could materialize a chainsaw instead regardless of their skill, maturity, age, or criminal record? ๐ค
Teenagers are definitely able to find exploits via google in 5 if they're motivated.

Rules only apply to people that care about them.
