a. Most attacks come from protocol or mode failures, not so much crypto primitive failures. That is, there's a reaction attack on the way CBC encryption and message padding play with your application, and it doesn't matter whether you're using AES or FEAL-8 for your block cipher.
The repeated failures of wifi are more crypto primitive failure, though underlying crypto primitives were abused in ways that exposed subtle weaknesses.
