It also causes psychiatric frustration and irritation leading to headaches, anger, and loss of motivation to work with such a complicated and secure design. The requirements are forced by the Security Industry, with the promise of protection being a two or more party agreement not to share, sell, or misuse information, all of which cannot be verified or proven unless directly visible, trackable, reportable, and sharable with authorities. After an attack has occurred, or theft, it is too late – the damage is done and recovery is not always possible.
