"This is, by the way, exactly how these things are supposed to work: Someone points out a vulnerability in technology and its manufacturers or developers figure out a way to fix it."

Uh.. no. It should be designed with security in mind which is obviously wasn't.

Yeah - if they were able to demonstrate this at DEFCON then it had most likely been exploited in the wild somewhere as well.

I mean… in hindsight, you could say that about almost everything, as soon as some way is found to exploit it.

I hope you don’t disagree with the idea of that once a vulnerability is disclosed, the manufacturers/developers should fix it, and that’s a good model for this fallen, insecure world of ours. Of course, the best model would be to have no security holes at all. But everyone knows how realistic that is…
