This is overly pessimistic. There is research for removing the risk
entirely using more sophisticated programming languages that let you
encode more information in the type system than traditional, e.g. DSLs
written in Haskell, so that we can remove the risks at compiletime,
and with verifiable builds promise that they have been removed.
I firmly believe we can, at least theoretically, reduce the risk so
far that the only hazard for the user is the service shutting down.
*Everything* else can be solved. We just need some time. And some
dependent types as first class citizens of a higher-order ranks
programming language. :]
