| 80% of all computer crimes are inside jobs. This being true, I am still of the opinion that ANY computer is only as secure as the people working on them are honest. I don't know that this is strictly a problem that will EVER be solved by technology... My question is: is there ANY computer that is secure against dishonest people working from the inside...? My answer is: No. Yet measures should be taken to minimize the risk, of course. | Maybe | I just worked for the vendor and the vendor does not know that I | have installed a backdoor. Key point. (Again, NOT saying there is NO problem here.) 1) So can't IBM or Symantec or somebody else identify CHARACTERISTICS of these kinds-a backdoors...? Or is that not really feasible, technically...? 2) Don't some industries BOND workers in sensitive areas...? Yes, but I don't know if this is done much in the Computer Industry or not. Again, might be a question where the Non-Tech list might give more opinions... (?)
