This mindset is why hackers are able to exploit most systems.

  Which isn’t a problem as exploiting most software is meaningless. Wow someone can hack software they already have root access to the machine for whatever will we do. It’s management and developers not treating software where it is meaningful for someone to hack as a different category that’s an actual problem.

    So a coworker sends me this CAD file via email, I open it and my computer gets controlled by a botnet, and the file immediately sends itself to all my outlook contacts. Nah, that sounds impossible. I'm sure it has never ever happened.

      Opening 3rd party files is one of those risks I was just talking about. There’s a user moving around in a game, and there’s opening a workplace file these are inherently different kinds of risks. If your building a flappy bird clone you can know exactly how it’s going to interact with the world.
