My experience is along the following:
Noobs develop a new website. Senior devs have little time to review what the noobs have done. Website goes live. Users are happy.
A year or two down the line, the former noobs move to other employers so as to obtain a real raise.
Some time thereafter, serious security flaw is noted on original website. Flaw is fixed by senior devs, who may, or may not, adequately explain the problem to the noobs currently maintaining the website. The original devs involved never learn of the flaw or the fix.
Simply put, we are not adequately taught security in school and we are unlikely to learn it at work. Compounding the issue, there is always a rush to production and very often security is the low priority task that gets tossed in order to meet the (artificial) deadline.

Sounds about right to me. I'm one of those Sr. devs and reviewing code is part of my job, and I think I do a good job. But, deadlines are far too aggressive and on many occasions I later end up smacking my forehead after I realized I missed something obviously bad. I just don't have the time for a proper review, so I do the best I an within the constraints and continue to hope there's nothing problematic that snuck through when I ran out of time or was tired that day or whatever...

It is much harder to find a job than to keep one.
