- No Hope For Security Loopholes
-
After 20 years of development, the MS class is still full of holes, why ?
It is certainly not beyond the wit of most well experienced software engineers to come up with a secure architecture. 21 years ago it was my job to test some early online systems for loopholes, there were a few and these were quickly fixed providing total security.
Is Bill Gates an idiot ? I don't think so.
Think what advantage there might be for those with a keen interest to be able to directly gather intelligence or affect operation of enemy
or competitor systems.
How might you cover this up when discovery is near ? find a dumb hacker and indirectly give him the tools to create a big enough security scare about an apparently new risk, while in reality the loophole had been in existance for a long time. - Posted by: wwwsupport Posted on: 05/11/04 You are currently: a Guest | Members login | Terms of Use
Worse yet, it could have the opposite effect.
