Nearly Nine in Ten Websites Contain One Serious Vulnerability

Nearly Nine in Ten Websites Contain One Serious Vulnerability:

For at least the third year in a row, the number of serious vulnerabilities per website has fallen. That sounds like good news until you look at the numbers and realize that the average website carried an astonishing 56 holes in 2012, according to statistics compiled by WhiteHat Security researchers Jeremiah Grossman, Matt Johansen, and Gabriel Gumbs and based upon data gathered from tens of thousands of websites.

Sure, 56 is better than the 79 flaws per website reported in 2011, and it’s an enormous improvement on the 230 vulnerabilities per site reported way back in 2010, but, if WhiteHat Security’s sample is representative of the whole Internet, then we’re still working with an Web on which 86 percent all websites contain at least one serious vulnerability...........

This will always be a problem, and it depends on a lot of factors. Who the company is, what their main goal is, traffic amounts (popularity basically), are the people behind it lazy, so on and so forth. I'd actually disagree with their findings on government websites. In my experience those have been the most likely to contain serious flaws and not enough proper oversight to fix them.
