Digging yourself into a hole

from here

Not only was Mirai made to get a leg up in Minecraft, but then when things got too hot they gave away the source code for the botnet so that anyone could use it - making the problem that much worse.

This seems poorly thought out. Not only could Superman retaliate with force, he could also retaliate with a counter doxxing, and he gets to write in a newspaper so a lot more people would be likely to see and believe it.

Plausible Deniability

from here

Imagine if the authorities wanted access to your data but couldn't get it because it was encrypted, and couldn't demand you decrypt it because it looked like you weren't the one who encrypted it. Even better if they try to send cryptocurrency to unlock the device and either you or the vendor simply pockets the money send with an unauthorized unlock attempt.

Use a passphrase but get your own

Well what do you know. Even NIST is doing security memes now.

RE just doesn't have the same ring to it

Definitely a missed opportunity here, but maybe there's still time.

I bet he guessed the pawsword on the first try. He's such a good dog.
