+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! +
