> Many security software providers are hackers or ex-hackers... So you're basically paying hackers to protect you from themselves. Why should I trust software which is almost 100% guaranteed to have been written by hackers more than any other random software I might download from the internet which has maybe a less than 1% chance of having been written by a hacker?
Because the hackers know how other hackers are going to try to break it. Most developers pay literally no attention to the security of their code.
