Well it has always been a cat and mouse game. Even with best intentions you will get someone discovering some sort of exploit, or some employee going rogue or forced or tricked into installing something. When ever we talked about these issues it brings me right back to the xbox 360 days and the hacking scene. It was amazing to see the back and forth between MS and the hackers and what each side would do to countermeasure the other. The one that impressed me the most was MS started making games about 8gb in length. DVD's only were only sold in 7.5gb size. Hackers learned that the games were just being padded with random useless data so learned to truncate the games and burn to 7.5gb discs again. MS learned to detect truncated games. Hackers then figured out how to flash certain DVD burners so that they would burn to the outer most area of the 7.5gb DVDs, an area that would typically not be used due to chance of increased errors burning in that area. So then you could burn a game all the way to the edge of the disc and then hackers developed a scanner to check for game errors as burning to the edge didn't work well so you would have to burn at slow speeds and really use high quality DVDs as cheap ones didn't work well. The back and forth that kept happening was so impressive. I guess my point is no matter what you try as long as millions of dollars is on the line people will find a way.
