I'm sure most of you think your attempts at encryption are keeping your posts secure on this interesting little bootleg Stark Tech®©™ system

What you probably aren't aware of is that even the most beginner-level script kiddie can read what your output is

For instance

MESSAGE: Super Secret Avengers Meeting at 8:00 PM at that-restaurant-near-the-docks' basement
ENCRYPTED OUTPUT: fhcrefrperwnirmtrefzrrwvmtnw800cznwwunwerfwnhenmwmrnewurqbpxfonfrzrmw

A very basic example - most of the output on here is randomized into three-digit numbers, symbols, Caeser shifts and the like - which is pretty standard, trying to throw off whoever's seeking out information - still, the fact remains that everything typed into this device remains on it as some form of data

That data can be found and deciphered

And used against you

Assuming the seeker has knowledge of code or at least access to a search engine for their DIY learning needs

There's also these things online called "translators"

I would suggest stronger security measures (if you really care)
