I'm not sure if it's due to lack of QA on their(company's) part or
lack of common sense during development(software, database, and security design) or
maybe it's due to all of the above. The sad thing is that these companies
are not taking into consideration the evils of this world. C'mon, there are
too many users out there who would love to hack a site and create some havoc or
just hack the site to be able to purchase the item at a
much lower cost.
Technology is evolving and with that, programmers are becoming more sophisticated...
unfortunately some of them are being devious with their abilities. People
cannot survive thinking that no one will take advantage of them - because
they will. If they could assume the worst and program for that, they
may be
somewhat safe. But, in reality I think it'd be highly difficult to guard
against every single security hole.
You're right
jcwren, real world evil is out there..
