Ah, so you'd rather have one established technology to circumvent than numerous being worked on in parallel. Gotcha. I will stick with my irrational assumption

I will stick with my irrational assumption that the Internet at large is safe from this shit, at least until I'm too old to care ;)

Similarly, small-time malware over the years has made us stronger against major internet attacks by governments or mafias. However, it's a risky path - from what I've read China's firewall has enough holes for business to get by with annoyances, but it is very effective at keeping most people from learning what they shouldn't.
