The only point that I was trying to make is that there needs to be
more of an investement in the security facet of software development,
and that if a company is not willing to invest the resources to 
create a secure product, not to whine when they get hacked.

       Because security engineers are different to a QA department you
       originally suggested, and you seem to be very ideologist about the
       scenarios. As we've seen, Oracle's Java product has security engineers
       and this has not prevented flaws.

         Solution: Hire security engineers.

         Solution: Hire security engineers to think through each implication.

         Why are we disagreeing?
