Gonna need some eye bleach

This is actually supposed to be art, so I guess it's supposed to attract attention, but I think it goes a little overboard with the whole "standing out" aspect of things.

I wonder if it counts as going unseen if it makes people blind.

If you're going to tell people you take their data (and the security/privacy thereof) seriously, you better be able to put your money where your mouth is. That means spending the time, effort, and money on using something better than MD5, which has been deprecated for 20 some odd years.

Oh, I'm sure they'll never trace that

From what I can gather, that trend where people post pictures of their bank and credit cards online has branched out into other items with sensitive information on them.

I've heard of cats and dogs wanting to join their humans in the washroom, but apparently that extends even to our avian friends.

The keyboard shortcut for privacy
