  I see absolute no problems in this. If they lose backdoors, others will, too. Making systems more secure is a very good thing. Uncontrolled secret services of all kinds of countries as well as criminals and hacker losing chances to break into systems is an absolute win for everyone else.

      Well, anyone doing stupid things like that deserves a complete system failure and data loss. No mercy for such ineptitude.

  As long as people use Windows, it will not be a problem. The zero-day machine will always pay off.

    Especially as more programs are written with AI. Using AI to check it’s own work will likely lead to vulnerabilities missed that can continue to be used.
