Nope, but if I can shift my debt into a credit union I'm canceling it anyways, because screw getting gauged by visa.
More than enough. I am now even less worried, which is pretty impressive, seeing as I wasn't even slightly worried to begin with.The_root_of_all_evil said:AES256 protects the nuclear launch codes. Simple enough?Sunrider84 said:Just how safe is AES256 and why? In layman's terms, please.

Basically the general method for decrypting a file is called 'brute force'. Throwing numbers at the file's encryption until something comes out the other end that makes sense. AES256 has so many possible combinations that it would take a really long time, as in, we'll probably all be dead and our descendants will be space communists in another galaxy by the time the code gets cracked.Sunrider84 said:Going by your comment (and similar ones I've seen, including Gabe's statement), AES256 seems pretty damn safe. I am, however, utterly clueless about encryption. Just how safe is AES256 and why? In layman's terms, please.
(This was not meant to question you or anything, I'm just curious about it.)
What is this? Free video games? Is this legit?Matthew94 said:1. They don't know it has been takenTigger1992 said:Will you be cancelling your credit card knowing that the encrypted card data on Steam has been accessed?
2. It's encrypted in AES256, they won't be getting into those files.

Mathematically, it would take a regular 4ghz processor more time than the sun has existed to brute-force AES256.
Even jacking up the factor of processing, that's STILL a long fucking time to crack one file.
