I would strongly say, we lost the Cyber-war  and we will continue to loose
despite the fact that many countries investing millions of $. Sole reason
being, "Black hats can find just one hole to exploit, but White hats need to
guard whole set of thousands of holes present in many applications,
Operating system services, Kernel, so on and so forth. Adobe and M$
applications are most vulnerable...."

The only chance we have is to revamp the entire web, start from ground
zero..... :P
