When the IRS is offering $100k bounties to break the anonymous features, it sounds pretty secure. Although if there is enough interest in breaking the obfuscation, these things normally end up finding the hole.

Only time will tell.

If I wanted people to think I hadn't cracked the anonymous features, I would post a $100k bounty to break it.

And when people go to collect on that bounty?

A lot of security companies with have multiple holes in a system. Having more backdoors isn't a bad thing.

[JoshuaDavid]

I agree. I meant more in the sense that if the vulnerability is fairly obvious, multiple people will claim the bounty and if you try to simultaneously not pay all these people because their find was not unique, and also say that nobody has claimed the bounty, I can't imagine that going well. People tend to get mad when they don't get paid.

I did think this too. I would hope that I am small enough fish that I'm not worth them wasting that backdoor on, as I assume it will be patched once revealed.

At what point do I have to stop being paranoid so that I can get anything done?

Join me friend and welcome to the finer arts of procrastination, where our minds shall tirelessly conjure up vivid departures from reality in order to avoid doing something simple that needs to be done.
