"Encrypted"? Yeah, right!

So I came across a video provider that's supposed to serve encrypted videos and claims them to be un-downloadable.

Since I was curious, I tried to decrypt the streams and by using the ANCESTRAL DECRYPTING POWER of "Putting the stream file into VLC" I managed to defeat their state of the art #encryption and play their #video just fine.

Makes you think about what some companies tell you, VS what's actually the case. So, be careful about sharing sensitive data, even if they tell you it's secure!

That reminds me: What happened to that person who finished all their posts "US military encrypted"?

@prex Wait that's a thing?
Well, this host basically the same value as a "Sent from my iPad" signature haha, how can you encrypt a post that's publicly available to everyone?

What did they think would happen? The US military would encrypt the message for you?

At my job if we put encrypt in an email message the server encrypts it before sending maybe he thought it was like that
