    I wouldn’t be surprised if the people finding viruses/malwares and detecting them aren’t the same people responsible for deployment. And anyway, it’s not like smart people make zero mistakes…

      Seems like a great way to retire early lol

      Economic incentive is there but at least we know that people are honest!
