   The sad state of computer security</a>, PC World Australia, October 5, 2006
   </strong></font><br>
   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.
   <br />
   "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."
   <br />
   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!
