My favorite was ghosts and goblins, beating it just to find out you have to beat it twice to actually win. That was rough one.

I remember the first time beating the dam level, only to get to the van and be absolutely confused about what to do next. Good times!

I agree. Unfortunately many folks who are attracted to security issues and topics don’t have a great holistic view of things. The idea of security is that something can go wrong and you are still ok, and that you apply context appropriate measures. Of course sending a password through email isn’t good, but it’s a gaming forum. A security conscious individual should have randomly generated passwords for everything and no reuse. Likewise, it wasn’t a bank or a security company, it was an old forum software for public discussions, so contextually this isn’t a top concern.

The cherry on top is that it appears to have been an old screenshot and already addressed.
