Security through obscurity, therefore no obscurity = no security

I'm feeling a bit of schadenfreude in the latest peck on Microsoft. Apparently, a new security attack has been devised from the leaked Windows code from last week. It hasn't taken very long to find an exploit, and I expect that newer ones will be appearing at an even more furious pace than they already are.

I'm having visions of a little Danish boy putting his finger in the hole of a leaky dam.
