Microsoft also said open-source software is inherently less secure
because the code is available for the world to examine for flaws,
making it possible for hackers or criminals to exploit
them. Proprietary software, the company argued, is more secure because
of its closed nature.

You may be asking yourself: where, oh where, has all the crypto gone?
Presuming question, as the rest of the article.
Crypto is there for all those who want to encrypt, accessible as it was five
