How we laughed at how stupid it was that a simple word processor apparently needed vulnerable turing-complete macros? Now we actually compile source files into documents and get surprised that someone might trick you into running malware.
- lucb1e 10y agoFair point. I mean, I do sign with PGP when I have someone's key but this often runs into trouble with spam filters or people going "I lost my key" or "I want to read it in the train and I don't have my privkey on my mobile device". So it's a valid point.
- ryukafalz 10y agoYou don't need to encrypt it, just sign it - no privkey required to read a signed message, and you don't need someone else's pubkey to do so. Of course it won't help if your coworkers don't also sign things they send to you.
