Once again the proof is out there we build bigger and more secure OS’s and the virus writers write tougher viruses and still discover the vulnerabilities of the OS. I wish to say this was not the case but it has been since the beginning. Hackers discovering back doors into the operating system left by developers to prevent being completely locked out of their code. Now it has become an industry to see how quickly we can hack and find issues. Even some of the OS’s we did not think were being hacked are Cell Phones, Macs, iPads, and of course all versions of Windows.
