Sort of?
The definition of "bad" from a security PoV is rapidly expanding, in light of relatively new capabilities and increasingly cheap access to exploitable vulnerabilities.
- fny 4mo agoI don't think the definition of "bad" is expanding. Rather the ability to detect and exploit "bad" is.
- chrisweekly 4mo agofair point. another way of putting it might be to say that, for all extant software, much more of it is "bad" than we realized even a month or two ago -- and the cost to create and maintain "good" software is increasing (even as the naive / surface-level / apparent cost is plummeting)
- kenjackson 4mo agoSame thing happened with the growth of the internet. There was a time when there was basically no consideration of buffer overflow.
