This sentence should shoot up warning flags.
"This means that even details as mundane as user passwords are encrypted
using heavy duty algorithms."
Since when did user's passwords become mundane data unworthy of strong
protection?
Also "From the beginning, every line of code has been continually
audited for flaws and vulnerabilities (this is an ongoing process
since hackers are always developing new techniques)"
It's not that 'hackers' are making new techniques as much as
developers are making new bugs.
