Security through obscurity never really works; when I use it, I at least know what I’m doing, and that it could bite me. I had thought any halfway informed administrator knew that same thing. Apparently, some folks still don’t get it.

I know I wouldn’t trust my company’s data to a firm that made so obvious a mistake.
