The Internet is broken

Reports of Internet bugs are growing more frequent and the problems they pose are increasingly more dangerous. Why? For two reasons that aren't going to change anytime soon.

The Internet was never meant for this. We use the Internet for banking, business, education and national defense. These things require privacy and the assurance that you are actually who you say you are. The Internet, as it was designed, offers neither. The Internet was also built on set of rules that requires every packet of sent information to have a valid address, kind of like a phone number -- but the rules aren't strict about validating the source. So, it can be spoofed. As a result, hackers can fake a return address.
