Very true. But why does it always seem to take an exploitable crack before companies pay attention to security flaws? Is it because they are unable to admit that they have made a mistake? Everybody makes mistakes. What's the big deal? I really don't understand it. Any psychologists on this list?
I'm not a psychologist, but I'd guess that by the time a crack is released, knowledge of a problem is so widespread, that the company responsible can't ignore it. Kind of an ostrich thing. ----- Gordon R. Campbell, Owner - Mowat Woods Graphics P.O.
