Anyone who has taken Computer Security 101 would know that security through obscurity is not the smartest thing to do. Calling it "near-ridiculous level of security." is downright blasphemy.
- asherlangton 14y agoOr just (unintentional) truth in marketing...
- 4ngle 14y agoNot to mention, a foolhardy challenge to break it.
- damian2000 14y agoI wouldn't even call it security through obscurity. I'd call it dumb as rocks security.
- marssaxman 14y agoBlasphemy? Sounds like nothing more than the simple truth. If anything, they're being too humble. It literally is a ridiculous level of security, for here we all are ridiculing it.
- shmerl 14y agoThe only mistake in that was the word "near". It's purely ridiculous, since that method has nothing to do with security honestly saying.
