Hi,
Of course the question of posting hacks publicly brings up another
issue: If the hacks are public, everyone knows about them and the
"security" provider improves security. If the hacks are kept secret,
on the other hand, only the hackers know them, the providers never
improve security and increased theft can then ensue. Which is worse?
Bruce Schnier says this all a ton better than I do, and with some
authority. Feel free to look him up and/or check out his cryptogram
newsletter if you are interested in these issues.
Cheers,
Cameron (an anthropologist, not a security expert)
