The security of an operating system is in direct proportion of it’s popularity....the more popular the more time more people will spend hacking/writing malicious code to exploit it..... PEROID. Vulnerabilities exist in all code due to the nature of grey areas in the standards that have been established to afford interoperability of software and systems....The key to security isn’t the false notion of invincibility, it’s in maintaining a secure environment and reducing risk.

Risk reduction begins with good design. A good design will have fewer bugs to begin with. A poor design will provide a steady stream of new holes for years and years to come.
