Not sure what the scam would have been, but I do love messing with them.

@jerry Yeah, lately it has been "Where are you, you were supposed to be here an hour ago." I love the layer of guilt-tripping added in. I don't get the bitcoin scams. Maybe I've been a bit harsh on cryptocurrencies?

I forgot one…

A user name and password counts as two factor authentication. It requires a name AND a password

Yeah, as you know, if you hang out in the security space long enough you will hear the most credulous BS about authentication. There really needs to be an "Alice in Wonderland" written for security.

The funniest thing for me is when a customer would send us their PGP private key thinking we would need it to unlock their logs. Uh, no.

Time to file a patent to mine Recall on corporate fleets to help companies monitor employee efficiency. And then sue anyone that tries to do this.

@jerry You are changing my mind about patent trolls. Well, one at least.
