Attacks are becoming very focused with less of a "shotgun-style" as technologies advance. The things Travis Goodspeed is doing with some of his hardware hacks reinforce the idea that security remains an afterthought in several areas. As long as security remains an afterthought, it will be difficult to provide reliable security.
