    If security were at the front of development efforts, this would be far less of an issue. I’ve said it since the 90’s.

    Tcp/IP was intentionally released without encryption with the argument that routing hardware lacked the necessary performance to handle it (which wasn’t incorrect, just misleading).

    Windows at least was originally built as a single-user system on a disconnected computer. Though Window NT and it’s children have no excuse for not having stronger security models from the start (especially since it’s essentially a fork of DEC Alpha).
