1. Total security cannot be achieved; any machine can be broken
into if the attacker is willing to use torture. [Muhahahahaha]
2. Sending information over the Internet unencrypted may be
something that all institutions have to do in order to
communicate with govt.nz.
3. I know you, Carl. You are boring, Carl. Why would people
*care* about your student information? True, they could change
your grades, but it would look odd if Carl Cerecke Ph.D did
*not* get strait As. They could add to your student loan, but
would anyone notice?
Ok, they could find out where you lived, which would help with (1), but
you are listed so it is easier to check out whitepages.co.nz!
