... was to make the damn thing secure. That's why it exists. And they still failed. It's like selling a bread that doesn't taste or has the same ingredients like a real bread. But you still call it bread and sell it. These companies should be boycotted. It's our security that we're talking about! There should be repercussions for these kind of failures!

Agreed...they had ONE job...all it had to do was what it's supposed to do, and they couldn't even get that right.
I say we go into business selling square wheels and when clients find out that they don't work, we'll issue a "patch" to correct it: a triangular wheel.
Not to be critical, but you might want to release the triangle wheel first, that way the square wheel is an improvement over it (however still flawed), then after that a pentagon wheel, then a hexagon wheel... The users will feel the product is getting better and better with each release, even though the wheel still isn't round.

You're absolutely right. In addition to the PR campaign bragging about the innovation in providing the upgrade, it'll cost a little more for the hexagon wheel. After all, it's a hexagon and many people have no idea what that means, so naturally it would cost more.
This *is* the general sentiment, but the fact is that there is only very few companies that can satisfy corporate needs in this area and all of these companies are ridden with identical problems. You'd essentially have to boycott them all.
Can you name one product manufacturer with this type of computer-related scale that does *not* have security vulnerabilities? CISCO is certainly not immune.

It seems to have worked with men's disposable razors. (As predicted by Mad Magazine back in the 1970s.)

Forcibly rename the company, "I Can't Believe It's Not Security!" ?
