The funny thing is, despite claiming to loathe the security industry, those who commit acts like this are its most effective promoters.
- Seiwynd 17y agoThey only loathe the security industry because they feel that those in it are incompetent. You say "effective promoters", they would reply "promoting what? the illusion of security that security companies give?"
- axod 17y agoI think their other point makes a lot of sense - It's in the security industry's interest, to keep things insecure. Just as it's in the anti-virus companies interest to keep the threat of people getting a virus high. If no one ever got a virus, no one would buy anti-virus software.
- derefr 17y agoThere will always be new software, and software is insecure by default. You don't have to avoid securing the software that already exists to guarantee that you'll still have a job in the security industry tomorrow.
