Exactly. The whole concept that ANY email from ANY domain is in any way secure (unless you're using digital signatures, or even looking at headers and seeing what domains the email traversed) is useless. I mean, I could send an email with the "from" as marriott.com and phish people. The "from" is one of the last things you would look at, from a security perspective. You should look at where any links go - the actual domain, or something else? Or even better, just type in the domain directly in your browser.

Submission + - Marriott discloses a massive data breach affecting up to 500 million guests (washingtonpost.com)

gtvr writes: Marriott International revealed Friday that a massive data breach may have affected up to 500 million guests.

The data breach involved information mined from the reservations database for Starwood hotels, one of Marriott’s subsidiaries. An unauthorized party had accessed the database since 2014, company officials said. The breach included names, email addresses, passport numbers, and payment information, according to the hotel giant.

Comment Re:Bank-grade security key? (Score 2) 91

It's like the phrase "highly classified" - it means nothing. In the US something can be classified as confidential, secret or top-secret. There is no category "highly." So what is bank-grade? I mean, we're talking key size here, so just give us a number. And obviously the implementation is broken if human error can put the same key on different devices.
