Web is secure if you think it is , world’s biggest companies like microsoft and adobe are also not secure .Because everything is created by man and if one man can create security wall than second can break it also .

The internet was the world without the limit, although we have tried to close all the gaps, but we could not close all the gaps, still must have the gap that could be penetrated.
That could be carried out by us was minimize the available gap.

There are many reason the web is insecure (i will concentrate on two technical ones):
1. In the past the web relied on client-side scripting, which is by nature insecure
2. Writing “secure” code wasn’t really important until the last 4-5 years. Functionality and Design were kings. Security was seen as a nuisance. See Microsoft as an example – its applications become much secure only in the past 5 years or so.

Thanks a ton for dedicating this post to me.

It would take a long time to make web a secure place. Thinkable article.

I guess when the internet evolved from plain sharing of information to one where the business side comes in, that’s where the security comes into play. Credit card numbers, online money accounts/ payment processors, customers’ information shared within the company, email contents, etc.. I guess you just can’t share those. When the internet has more uses than one, that is where it starts..
