- boring_twenties 7y agoThey're not secured, that's the whole point.
- ebg13 7y agoYour distinction is not meaningful. It's like saying that TLS isn't secured because one day someone may crack it. Everything is/was secure up until the point that it isn't/wasn't.
- boring_twenties 7y agoPDF, and Adobe in general are widely known to have a terrible security record. Relying on PDF encryption to keep your data safe isn't analogous whatsoever to relying on TLS. It's more like keeping your data on a Windows 98 machine, and then acting surprised when it inevitably gets cracked.
