The OP has a history of posting nonsensical and illogical questions like this on Hacker News. Wondering if they're doing this just to try to bump up their karma or if they're actually spending their time thinking about this sort of silliness.

The service isn't my type of thing, but maybe you could post somewhere in detail about the technical challenges of securing this system. I'm sure that the some people who read HN would find that interesting.
