The majority of software, including operating systems, does not function flawlessly at first release. Many thousands of bugs have been found in various application frameworks. Vendor fixes for recognized software issues are often provided (also known as patches). Zero-day attacks are launched by cybercriminals the day after a new vulnerability is disclosed. The immorality of these criminals is without dispute, but what responsibility does a software developer have if its ineptitude or haste to launch causes damage to its customers? Users also have a responsibility to apply any necessary security fixes to their computers.
