Security Problems Are Primarily Just Bugs, Linus Torvalds Says (iu.edu)

Posted by msmash on from the things-Linus-says dept.

Linus Torvalds, in his signature voice: Some security people have scoffed at me when I say that security problems are primarily "just bugs." Those security people are f*cking morons. Because honestly, the kind of security person who doesn't accept that security problems are primarily just bugs, I don't want to work with. Security firm Errata Security has defended Linus's point of view.

    With Linus it's more like security through obscenity :-)
