One has to be careful with one's universal quantifiers.
"There's no attack you can defend against." - false
"There are defenses against some attacks." - true
"There are defenses against all attacks." - false
My own experience makes me skeptical to the point of incredulity when
someone claims to be invulnerable to viruses and trojans. One can defend
against limited cases at best, and defenses get stretched to the breaking
point as time and technology move on.
