That's an odd place to stop your relative privation, why not go even further, and include homelessness and world hunger? There are lots of problems in security, the distribution of effort feels about right to me - thousands working on phishing and malware, and a dozen in P0.

I'm not taking it personally, I'm answering your question. What do you feel the correct distribution of effort is, literally everybody should be working on the worst problems facing mankind?

Worth considering that the ratio of investment to public attention isn’t intuitive; far more is spent on things that don’t capture headlines. Maybe it’s porn not because the people who appreciate it think P0 is saving the world, but because they admire the craft.

Think about it, will you commit to only reading news about phishing from now on to incentivize appropriate media coverage? I sure won't, because that sounds boring as hell. That doesn't mean I don't think phishing is an important problem.
