In the hacking world, security is more of a response than a proactive measure. They wait for hackers to attack and then they patch, based on the attacks.

Where there's a will, there's a way. Hackers tend to find a way. Code is also expanding. More lines of code means more probability that there is an exploit that can be [used].

Humans make mistakes. Programmers are bound to make mistakes. Hackers, you can bet your life, are going to be there to exploit those mistakes.

A lot of hackers set up scam sites. They can impersonate a site like PayPal, for instance.

The security world needs to take a more proactive approach. A lot of companies will know an exploit exists and they'll release the software anyways, and the patch later on. Stuff like this needs to stop. There needs to be some kind of agency that verifies code before it's released, maybe a grading system for code.

There are more hackers breeding every day, and more brilliant minds are turning into hackers. Security has advanced, but so have hackers.
