A vulnerability is a trick? All complex systems have them, but eventually they will all be formally verified and secure. Progress marches on. Unless you’d rather make your own processors along with the moonshine in your shed, of course.

If there is a vulnerability in a system you control, you can mitigate it until it can be patched, or if necessary disable access to it until it can be patched.

If there is a vulnerability in a system controlled by an untrusted party that already has your sensitive data on it, you're pwned.
