No it isn’t, it’s a push to get people to login protect whatever they want to keep to themselves.
It’s silly to say informing people that security through obscurity is a weak concept is trying to convince them to publish their stuff.
- HeatrayEnjoyer 2y agoIf security through obscurity didn't provide any benefit then governments wouldn't have built entire frameworks for protecting classified information.
- ehutch79 2y agoSo the only thing protecting classified docs is the public not knowing where they are? That's what security through obscurity is.
- HeatrayEnjoyer 2y agoNo, it's not the only thing, but it is one layer of defense in depth. No one is saying that obfuscation should be the only layer. Your defense should never hinge on any single protection layer.
- ehutch79 2y agoSo we're all agreeing here. It's ok to hide stuff from sight, but hiding stuff from sight isn't actually security and can't replace at the very least, having password protection.
- HeatrayEnjoyer 2y agoBut it is security. It's one layer of it.
