From the page: "Seventeen million programmers are churning out an estimated 102 billion new lines of code per year. Add 162 million websites online, with 809,000 using SSL (an indication of valuable data) and the problem becomes apparent. Researchers estimate that roughly one security defect exists per 10,000 lines of code and nine out of 10 websites contain one or more serious vulnerabilities. If only 1 percent of security defects are exploitable that means we are generating 102,000 zero-days per year - we just don't know where most of them are. Even if 90 percent of the SSL websites contained only a single issue, 728,100 website vulnerabilities are already in circulation, and we don't know where those are, either." - dan
