I can not follow what logic keeps you from blaming Microsoft for the security lapses in the Microsoft operating system. Of course they have cleaned up their act in recent years, but they had a solid 25 year run (both DOS and Windows) where they were absolutely notorious for poor security. They faced sharp criticism for the many flaws in their OS, and for the low priority that they gave to implementing something better. Do you want me to google some of the many articles on this theme? Here is one from a few thousand results that I could pick from: http://sec-soapbox.blogspot.com/2007/03/why-is-windows-insecure.html http://sec-soapbox.blogspot.com/2007/03/why-is-windows-insec... My criticism of the WordPress team follows the same logic as the criticism of Microsoft. Since Microsoft came up with an OS that had a lot of security flaws, it was reasonable for people to criticize Microsoft for those flaws. And since the WordPress team is producing software that also has flaws, it is reasonable to criticize the WordPress team for the flaws in the software they produce.
