Now that there's way more trash out there it feels irresponsible not to check for client side security

client side security

What do you mean by this? Like, MTLS or requiring people to install client certificates in their browsers, or installing certificates in some other client application. Or something else?

And who are/own the clients in question? These aren't B2C sort of customers, are they?

Just fiddling with the console to see if I can get onto panels I shouldn't. Making bool return funcs always go true and seeing the results. Like, the Fifa hack where they made the role checks on the client, not the server.

Ah. Ok, yeah. That makes sense. I just wanted to make sure you weren't advocating for doing more security checks on the client and thinking that would improve security at all. But I see you were saying quite the opposite.
