I agree. In this cat and mouse game, the hackers are always going to be
finding new ways to break things. And in a twisted way, this is actually
good for the evolution of design and programming, since it discovers
faults.
By disseminating the information to the masses, it does put these exploits
into the hands of many idle minded kids and adults alike who will try to
make havoc. But at the same time it levels the playing field, and gives
us the opportunity to put fixes in place, rather than leave us in the
dark, and the technology in the hands of the most sophisticated of the
hackers.
