   I never do. Here are FACTS you want everyone to ignore:   
      
   Open source vulnerabilities remain unpatched for decades   
      
   ---   
   A new report reveals an enormous number of identified open source   
   vulnerabilities remain unpatched for 10 years and longer, often because   
   organisations have no idea what open source code they are using.   
   .   
   .   
   .   
   With software developers routinely taking code from open source   
   repositories to embed in their company's products to speed up the   
   development process, saving time and money, manually tracking   
   components, their versions and their vulnerabilities is way beyond the   
   capabilities of most organisations.   
      
   The report recommends all organisations invest in an automated solution   
   for identifying and patching known vulnerabilities. "You can't patch   
   software if you don't know you are using it," the authors point out.
