One day companies generally have got to get hold of security generally.

As long as they have humans programming the computers, or even robot programmers who were programmed by humans (and so on and so on), this won't happen.

Security has to be perfect to be absolute. The attackers only need to find one vector.

surprising they don't write compilers that check for buffer overflow conditions before they'll compile an exe or dll

disagree. Security has to be "good enough" or sufficiently secure proportional to what is being protected.

That is obviously not happening here, and in most of the cases where we see "security fails"

There is no "absolute security" - anyone who starts talking that way is trying to sell you anti-virus software, or some "enterprise class security system that will keep the hackers out!".

The only absolute perfect security that can be obtained is for something which absolutely does not perfectly exist.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Sigh-27727296 Wed, 14 Nov 2012 14:18:23 EDT Re: Sigh http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Sigh-27726848
As lets face it, the #1 hole is still the the meat bag in the chair. Get a user to click yes on something and the hacker just infected their PC and sniffed their passwords.
