Its like video games... PC games used to rule and it was all good. Now
people realize how much money can be made in that industry so theres just
one crappy fps after another because consoles have taken over. Hmmm, maybe
that was a little bit of a stretch but hopefully you get what I mean. I

won't be like that again anytime soon. It seems like the free flow of
knowledge has been reduced to a few drops here and there. The fewer people
who are learning about computer security the bigger the threat becomes.
