Are you protecting against random accidental data corruption? Or malicious attackers?

Everyone is protecting against accidental data corruption, until someone figures out how to turn it into an attack.

Even when you ask people "is there any universe in which this could be used as an attack?" most people will reflexively say "no, of course not."

Most of us are wrong, which is why you have professional pen testers.
