- JMTQp8lwXL 6y agoIf someone isn't getting paid, what incentive do they have to patch vulnerabilities in a timely manner?
- minerjoe 6y agoNot sure what you are asking? As far as I can tell, hackers hack like fish swim. We just do. For a multitude of reasons. For many people, me included, if you wanted to give me a bunch of money to do something and I bit, not that I would nowadays, that could actually lead to a loss of motivation. As for vulnerabilities, many open source projects responds to them much quicker that industry. Say for pride in their work. as one motivation.
- yehe7dydyd 6y agoYoure right looking at the world I can see how pride in ones work trumps financial incentives. Are you fucking retarded
- JMTQp8lwXL 6y agoPride can be fleeting. There's certainly advantages and disadvantages to depending on security patches from a paid organization and from volunteers. Regardless of which OS you use, you will need one that regularly patches its vulnerabilities.
