Maybe it's not a matter of poor security, it's H1B workers. Hundreds of thousands here.. some are bound to have ulterior motives.

I just hope that PC hasn't made it possible for them to work on our most valuable defense systems.. but certainly it appears that secrets are finding their way overseas.

“Good for Yama Tough for showing the world how inept Norton is at computer security.”\

I know. I used to work for them and Cyberdefender. They’re both similar. The difference is that Norton became lackadaisical in their business acumen and were not entirely listening to their software engineers. Cyberdefender was just pure s*am. You know those “I’ll clean your pc in minutes!” ads on radio? That’s Cyberdefender.
