Sorry, but the naive alarm went off.

Security through obscurity is really stupid and dangerous. OS's are not 
targets, but people and companies are (given enough value on the system, 
intrudes will surely take the time to investigate Haiku). Moreover, entire 
classes of attacks are OS agnostic, but OS's can protect against them. 

Finally, to become worthwhile, Haiku must be secure ;)
