The NSA and Department of Defence have has documents leaked.

Major retailers leak tens of thousands of credit card numbers.

Banks routinely have embarrassing security holes.

The very building blocks these systems are built on have bugs that laid dormant for years (OpenSSL, Secure Transport)

Why does anyone still believe computer security is anything but an illusion?
