No, really????

And if I 0wn your box, do you not think that my keylogger can get your passcode? Good grief! If the box is hacked, I can get any information I need from you to screw you up further. Passcodes or anything else you have *or* type are trivial to obtain once I have root on the box.

I'm a bit surprised that I have to point this out.
