Not to mention the OP participated in the debate about the name themselves. This being the top rated comment is a self-fulfilling prophecy, it’s getting in the way of a discussion about the tech! Oh but now I’ve contributed to it as well. U

I'm not an expert here but I believe the argument is that because it's consumer driven if a patient wants antibiotics then they can just shop around doctors until they find one willing to prescribe. Plus of course, drug manufactur

Most attacked, I could believe. Most compromised, I'm not so sure. Browser teams ship out new versions very regularly, it's nothing compared to vulnerabilities contained within the first release of Windows XP, for example.
