gollark: Important internet infrastructure was designed and put into production last millennium when people assumed private networks and just ignored security concerns, and we still run it, sometimes with patches for the bigger problems which aren't actually anywhere near universally deployed.
gollark: Oh, and it's all a giant maze of interlocking abstraction layers which manage to somehow erase decades of Moore's law because someone wanted to ship an entire browser for their desktop app or something, and which nobody actually understands.
gollark: Even the lowest level hardware stuff is vulnerable to weird exotic side channels, there's unauditable proprietary code running lots of stuff, and even outside of that people just cannot seem to write consistently secure code.
