Funny...I'm on a call with a development group who doesn't quite seem to grasp that there are hackers out there and opening up your full business application servers to all users on the Internet could be a bit risky.

Yeah... kind of reminds me of a company that peddles backup software that can't resist a port scan... They have no intention of fixing this problem.

And what I think people miss is that if police have access, every hacker has access.

So, what exactly is the "safe from police" way to store data?

Uh, no.
