Official Java account tweets cryptographically insecure AES encryption demo code

  Pfft. Nobody even knows there's an 'official @java' tweet account. Java devs will just find an unsafe AES sample code on the thousands of blogs and youtube videos as they do every day.

  It's kind of funny how often people end up using ECB. (Or not using a nonce with stream ciphers.) It's like so obvious that that can't work when you think about it, but I guess most people just don't think about it in the first place. In this case however, the low quality was easy to identify for everyone. Just go to the website: >Happy learning and keep coding !!!. A space in front of three exclamation marks followed by a period. Only psychopaths would be able to write something like that.

    I totally agree. I would have expected some kind of vetting before content gets posted by an official account with +450k followers.
