"By evolutionary principles, of course: anti-malware, like the immune system, can so far not respond to a threat until it appears."

OTOH if system designers built in security by design the bad guys would be lagging a long way behind the good guys.

Of course when it comes to something like FB the concept of "good guys" doesn't apply. We have to think in terms of bad and worse.
