Truth
This is the biggest peice of truth ever written on a
flame pit such as this.

If coders would take the time to fix disign flaws they
would be less prone to attacks.

The biggest problem with javascript is that it is a
scripting language that anyone can learn. But becuase
you have a basic idea of the language, does not mean
you know how to program correctly.

More and more I see great looking apps written in web
based scripting languages that just scream hack me.

In vastly larger projects, it is simply not possible
to think of everything. There are people in the
hacking communities that just know how computers work.
They can infect anything they desire simply as proof
of concept.

This is where the internet is heading. Until the
programmers who write these scripts learn to manage
their code; we will always have these problems.
