    It seems mad that computers are still vulnerable to cyber attacks in 2017.

    Is it unavoidable or is it inherent to DOS?

    If there is communication, there is the possibility to disrupt it.

    I wouldn't be shocked if there won't be a fail-sure mode of Operation ever.

    Not likely, the best effort seems to be a combination of AI examining new threats and a sandbox computer that lets the crapware take over the machine but is carefully isolated so it can be studied. I imagine even techniques like that can be defeated, for instance, a piece of malware so sophisticated it does nothing to the sandbox comp but holds off doing anything till it knows it is inside a real computer.

    The Point is that there are always People not keeping their safety on top.

    And you probably also do not put any incoming email through the sandbox Treatment first. So a creative programmer with a Sound knowledge of the workings of the System can interfere.

    In fact Windows was a laughing stock in Terms of sfatey when i still was a System Administrator. I put the safety related things on a Island machine...which helped some but was frowned at by the users.

    The entire internet is malware.

    Pop a rubber on and jump in is all you can do.
