I think of Project Mayhem as positive trend for IT security.

It's time to realize that there are things that are unknown to white hat
community and a security expert should _predict risks_ instead of using
traditional these days model "there is a bug recently discovered, we should
fix it". We should eliminate consequences of things unknown to us and we
should _really_ trust no one.

(for those who can read in Russian i wrote a posting in ru_hitech in
Livejournal some days ago)
