<span>Hey Ryan thanks for posting... and this response is not a poke at you, so dont take it personally!<br>
</span>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>but ... groan... honestly who the fck are "latacora", and all the others who sprout shite they read somewhere and regurgitate elsewhere...<br>
</div>
<div>Yeah I have been seeing posts like this pop up and with variations of content. Today everyone is cool kid security consultant, it's a badge of upper crust 007 techno ability.<br>
</div>
<div>Show me actual facts and figures, opinions are not fact.<br>
</div>
<div>Like anything worthwhile, sometimes you need to study and actually apply a bit of effort to do something properly.<br>
</div>
<div>GPG is no different... The "instant gratification" and simple systems don't enforce good security workflows. Just because Uncle Bob likes and says you should use signal/whatsapp etc etc and shouldn't use whatever, doesn't mean you should follow.

</div>
<span>If folks like Bruce Schneier suddenly popped up and said "we have a problem" and dumped his PK, I may take notice... Then again that's my opinion, why should you believe me :)</span>
