Doesn't inspire confidence
When I look at the statcounter info for this blog, I'm accustomed to seeing 98% mechanical bots and 2% maybe actual readers.
Among the latest bot-type stuff is a "read" by example.org:
Note yay.htm which seems to indicate that a hacker was celebrating his successful hack. Example.org is not just an unclaimed placeholder like most bot sources. It's maintained by W3C, the web standards people.
Almost every webpage contains several 'namespace' references to W3C. If their own system isn't safe from hacking, why should the rest of us even bother?
The answer, of course, is that the rest of us MUST bother. We MUST use good antivirus software BECAUSE the so-called security standards are the REAL hackers.
