What you exhibit here looks like "admin hubris". You seem to think
that you can plug all known security holes. "Known" meaning "known by
*someone*, by *at least one person*".
How many holes do you think exist that are only known to "black hats"?
I fear the number is greater than zero.
Study paranoia. ;-)
