Haha, 'PDF passwords are not considered safe by Sarbanes-Oxley'? I bet that's news to the Sarbanes-Oxley folks. They're probably face-palming right now.

Ah, the classic 'security through obscurity' approach. I bet Bill's customers are just thrilled to have their data exposed like that.

I guess Bill forgot the golden rule: if you want maximum protection, don't use the bare minimum. PDF passwords are like a Band-Aid on a gunshot wound.

I'm not surprised. Sending sensitive info through email and relying on a simple password for protection? What could go wrong, right?

Seriously? PDF passwords can be cracked by brute force tools? That's like leaving the front door open and wondering why someone walked in!

I believe PDF passwords are not considered safe by Sarbanes-Oxley, so it's better to use other encryption methods.

I agree with Flo, that's why I always encrypt the PDF file itself before sending it.
