Subject: Re: More info for E*TRADE users The trouble is the people who really need to read Bugtraq aren't doing it ;). I suspect most of the aspiring attackers are reading Bugtraq. The decent defenders are reading Bugtraq. But the clueless coders aren't. And I believe the clueless coders vastly outnumber the Bugtraq'ers.
That's the truth! A recent survey I read suggested there are well over 2 *million* VisualBasic programmers (getting paid to write such code) in the USA alone. There are still lots of C++ coders too. Recent articles in the trade press suggest that even Cobol coders are writing Internet applications, and the one article I'm thinking of even suggested that mainframe security was not up to the task either! -- Greg A.
