I agree in spirit, and I also share an attitude of "if you're hacked, it's your fault." It's Not That Hard to choose to not run random binaries from the internet, and keep your ports closed. > There's only so much genius you can get into a few thousand lines of code That being said, Stuxnet? So clever. edit: Depending on the language or libraries, 1000 lines is a LOT. Cleverness is frequently in reduction or rotation, not addition. Choice of data structure, etc. c.f. the 'k' or 'j' programming languages.

> if you're hacked, it's your fault I'm on the fence about this. In a perfect world, I agree. In real life? "They" only need to get lucky once. I need to be perfect all the time, and it probably isn't going to happen. Don't get me wrong, it is always somebody's fault. If your is meant as in your business, I'd lean more to the agree side. Security basics are just a cost centre, right? And how are you supposed to vet a binary from a trusted vendor?
