When people aren't worried enough about computer security

Since computer security is very trendy (sometimes everyone is worried, sometimes no one is) it pays to have alarmist pieces when security is on the cold side.

Here is an opinion at ZDnet about how the bad guys are too smart for the good guys.

I don't think that there will every be a point that the bad guys are far ahead. Even in the scariest pieces of code (like polymorphic malware), anomaly detection and preemptive measures against known vulnerabilities should prevent the bad code from exploiting users.

Now people just need to learn to stop opening email and web pages that are sketchy...
