> a lot of the identified issues are things that are seen in businesses EVERYWHERE Exactly this is the problem. And exactly this shit needs to stop asap! What you're basically saying is: "Software can't be secure at all. So what's the point?" This line of thinking is completely flawed. Software is in the end a mathematical construct and can be even proven secure (according to some arbitrary formal definition of "secure"). That's only a matter of the amount of money you're willing to throw onto this problem in the long run! Starting to jail the people actually responsible for all the daily IT security nightmares (those people are not the developers!) is the only way to get to an end with all the madness modern software development is. As long as the "bugs are an ordinary part of software" attitude prevails nothing will change. But this attitude can only change if the responsible people start to feel consequences for creating one tire-fire after an other—and getting away with it every time.
