Comments on: Security holes add up in second quarter

In April, May and June, more than 400 flaws were discovered that could let an attacker take control of a PC remotely.

Firefox??

Firefox also released a series of security bulletins. Why is it not listed here? Clearly there is no editorial bias here! NOT!!

Come On

C|net clearly knows the office will receive tons of hate mails from open source fanatics if it EVER say something like "FireFox has bugs", "FireFox is insecure", or "FireFox just sucks" :)

Security holes add up in second quarter

Security holes add up in second quarter

Mr. AT Alishtari, Founder and POA EDI Secure LLLP, says there is a lot of business for IT giants other than two factor authentication with offline device that stops online private ID theft and bank rape from use of stolen IDs.

There is also the fact that many machines and PCs are turned into robots blindly attacking government and network bank sites around the world. This cyber crime needs to be stopped directly with improved software since the PC owners do not even know they are being used for crime. There is a lot of work to do.

Security What Security

Maybe I am alone but I don't think so. If someone doesn't do something quick the cyber mafias will shut down E-Commerce with extortion.

Security is becoming a myth inside an allusion inside a dream the truth thereto is the Emperor has no clothes. That is what I think. Ciao now.

Lack of security is not what anybody needs

Why don't companies hire people to fix security holes or hold companies that lack in security legally responsible for insecurity of there products? If the products lack security, you put corporations at risk and people at risk, too. Also, paying for security is putting extra money in anti-virus, anti-spyware, and firewall companies pockets. Something has to be done and somebody has to be responsible for having insecure products. Who has to pay for the damages that security holes have? I think security should be more important than adding features. You add the security first, then the features, then we will talk about how good your product is. Forget Windows Vista. Make the current products better. If Microsoft, just made the products more secure, everybody would be happier. Also, whats up with the registry? Why don't software companies clean that up? It slows your computer down like bad when you uninstall stuff and it leaves stuff behind. No matter how good a product can be on windows, you have to buy so much stuff or get stuff for free in order to keep up with it. Its expensive sometimes and your computer can get damged severly and thats money out of your pocket and very unhappy customers.
