Unless you make engineers and entire companies focus on security through proper designs and standards, nothing will be secure. Most software is unsecure because geopolitically, the countries who make software are also the one who are able to penetrate those systems better than the rest of the world.

No government will push to improve door locks unless that government isn't the most capable of defeating those locks. It's a cost/benefit function.

Right now, improving software security is a net loss for the US. So it won't happen when the US is controlling the computer and software industry.

So I'm not surprised to see even the best experts being beaten so easily.
