Can We Wipe Out Vulnerabilities in High-Tech Devices?

摘要

The news about Samsung's Galaxy Note 7 continues to sound rather grim. Within weeks of launch, the multinational company received reports of overheating and exploding batteries, which ultimately resulted in a recall of all of the 3 million smartphones that had been sold. Not long afterward, production was halted, and then Samsung scrapped the Galaxy Note 7 entirely. Current estimates say the cost of the recall, lost revenue, and drop in stock value will exceed $6 billion. One news outlet estimates it will hit as high as $17 billion.
