Wow, this is straight-up fraud. Goes to show that nobody should trust extraordinary claims from closed-source developers.

Yes, this isn't your average "junior engineer introduces minor bug, exposes volnerability" type of problem, this is very clearly "we know very well this is terrible but we're selling it using a bunch of buzzwords, so we couldn't care less"...

Sadly there aren't a lot of meaningful legal mechanisms to sue these types of scams
