@CKsTechNews@cktn.todon.de Also, if you send an encrypted ZIP file in email, and you also send the PASSWORD in email to the same account, then you deserve what you are getting.

I think there is malware out there that sends its payload in an encrypted ZIP, and then sends the victim a password. That creates a sense of security and tricks people into clicking. It also bypasses most filters.

Don't get me started on people checking SSH private keys into Jira tickets or Git repos.
