Re: Cheaper to pay bug bounties...

The fact that there's pretty much nothing out there that can't be hacked suggests the problem is not a lack of competence, but simply down to the fact that software is hard. Millions of lines of code isn't even considered a big system any more, and no matter how careful you are it only takes one slipup somewhere to introduce a vulnerability. Add in multiple threads of execution opening up the concurrency can of worms and this isn't at all surprising.

Having said that, 4 seconds for Flash is just plain pathetic, the fact it's an old vulnerability that got exploited doubly so.
