+ Roger Grimes opines on how bad security really is for most of the world + (and it is really bad). "If you aren't using OpenBSD [or a few others], + then every other product in the world is pretty bad in comparison. +
+ "Most software contains numerous vulnerabilities, holes, and + exploitable routines. Even our anti-malware software and devices, + the things that are supposed to protect us, are full of buffer + overflows and vulnerabilities." +
+ And, Grimes generalizes, + "Sadly, the world has decided that real computer security doesn't + matter any more than real terrorist security. It's all lip service. + We are, and apparently choose to be, reactive sheep. Proactive + thinkers get ignored and ridiculed... + As more and more of the world goes online, and as more of our + important infrastructure goes "e-something," it would appear that + we are on a collision course headed toward a tipping point event. + And when it does, the sheep will stand aghast wondering how it + happened." + Worth reading! +
