It&amp;#x27;s a mortal enemy.&lt;p&gt;With botnets all around clogging networks they will not be able to serve videos, search results or ads. With malware stealing your credit card details you will not buy stuff online and firms will stop buying ads.&lt;p&gt;Basically, it&amp;#x27;s not a matter of choice for Google to make internet safer. It&amp;#x27;s an absolute necessity long term. The big questions is exactly _how_ to make internet safer - and this announcement shows they at least have an idea where to start.</text></comment>

Say what you will about whether it&amp;#x27;s an entirely altruistic endeavour or not, but I don&amp;#x27;t think anybody can dispute that devoting a team of this calibre to vulnerability research can turn out as anything but great for the internet as a whole.&lt;p&gt;I&amp;#x27;ve seen Ian and George work in passing, and if the rest of the team is half as capable as they are, I&amp;#x27;m expecting some really great findings to surface from the project.</text></comment>
