Hard to blame non-technical people when even programmers happen to use md5.

Anyway, why such documents don’t refer to auxiliary standards with big ass year of creation somewhere on top? That might ring a bell if you’re about to use something from 3 decades ago and you have a hint it’s security related.

There's a big difference between still using a very-common hashing algorithm that happens to no longer be secure, and discussing the use of programs that haven't actually existed in decades.

Oh I was referring to the other part of article about document recommending usage of algorithms such as 1024 bit RSA and SHA-1.
