Its tough enough to write complex software systems that do what they are
supposed to within a reasonable time-frame *without* having to worry about
malicious users.

[ben] Nobody has the luxury of *not* worrying about malicious users, and it
is irresponsible and short-sighted to try it.

[Andy Brice]
I wonder if Microsoft has a 'black team' separate from the development team
that looks for such weaknesses?

[ben] they have plans to do so, not sure if it's been implemented yet.
