My opinion all companies have issues.

A few days ago i read 2 threads one about Kaspersky and the other one was for Eset.

About Kaspersky if i remember correctly there was a rumor that there servers were hacked:cool: but Kaspersky denied it.

And Eset i think i saw a video that Eset was uninstalled by a malware while self defence was active:cool:.
What i want to say is that all companies face some problems but this doesn't mean that they provide us with bad software. Just my opinion;)
or same as Qihoo cheating :D

The problem here isn't the fact that they were hacked, the problem is the lack of protection on the data they store (keeping data not encrypted).
Avast, Symantec, Eset, Kaspersky and many others players were hacked in the past; the problem is the unecrypted passwords claim, it is extreme bad :eek:
read my last cm :D

If we're being honest here. I only have faith in my ability to secure my computer. Not a single vendor I'm head over heels for. As for Bitdefender... if you can't secure your own servers, you can't secure your customers computers. And unencrypted passwords is a bit strange... This is why it's a good idea to use different passwords for every site.

It's another thing to hack a page and another one to hack servers or shutdown a security software
yes i know.i do't comparison these companies :D
You do know defacing a website, has no reflection on the quality of the software.
yes i know its :), but its funny for a security company same as them to got hacked by unknown and weak hacker :D
see: a group of young terrorrist attack to a police department (by baton :D ) and annex them :p

You know the latest techniques to avoid website infiltration can be never prevented, here's always a catch.

1) The more traffic from a certain website, then a new invitation for hackers to analyse any holes as for sure money will be purchase for such expense for adjustment.

2) We all know that hackers can take much more time to conduct an attack without any problems, and the problem as always is due to password that can be primarily weak.

So products and a website have two different things, and its better been hacked since there's a recognition to improve more on the security. Sometimes debugging from simulation test are inconsistent.
