> If your security relies on the attacker not finding it or not knowing how it works, it's not actually secure.
Every branch of the military would like to talk to you and inform you that sometimes, the enemy not finding the target, or not knowing how the target works, can be extremely, actually secure. Like, still alive secure. I'd argue that's a rather effective security measure in certain situations.
Then there's compartmentalization, need to know, and then all of the security clearance levels...
Leaking classified documents can be considered treason, which is one of very few non-violent crimes you can commit that could result in the death penalty.
The Fed seems to think security through obscurity is a pretty fucking alright thing, seeing as how they use it everywhere.
