Don't be too hard on journalists. Humans, in general, think you write a sheet of vague wishes that you send off to an offshore developer, who will never tell you your specifications need work, or that you need a security specialist, or any other bad news. As a developer, I have seen what happens when you try to explain that there's an issue with the specs. "Oh, you can't do it? Do I need to find someone else?" I know of some serious vulnerabilities in a former employer's eCommerce system. When I brought them to the attention of my manager, I was told(Not in these exact words but the message was loud and clear) that we were being paid to add new features and no time would be wasted fixing security issues.
