The reality is folks, that regardless of the type of software – I don’t care what language it’s written in, how much money is charged for it, or how in-depth it’s been checked for security flaws – it’s going to have security flaws uncovered eventually. Adding to it, the more complex software gets the greater the chance of security weaknesses slipping in. And as long as people are involved in writing software…well, the problem is not going to go away.
