I'm late to this, but we can do without this kind of comment on Hacker News, as it falls under the guidelines about generic tangents and tangential annoyances. It led to a hostile exchange down-thread, which is exactly the kind of thing we're trying to avoid here, but is what happens when people take threads away from the main topic.

Given we're a technology-focused site, Hacker News readers can be reasonably assumed to be technically proficient, and aware of the importance of taking normal security measures.
