Encryption is a good thing as it is an extra layer of protection, but
nothing is unbreakable.

There are currently a number of unbreakable algorithms, in the sense that no
conceivable amount of computing power would be able to compromise them in any
known way. The increase in computer power over the years has made encryption
more secure, not less, because the gap between the power required for
legitimate encryption and decryption and the power required to compromise an
algorithm has grown exponentially as computer power has increased.

After all WEP encryption was supposedly not decryptable and it was
in it's hey day.

WEP was never secure, and pales in comparison to the strongest ciphers.

I wouldn't put my faith into
that security today. If data is that sensitive, then it shouldn't be
put on any network accessible by the internet.

The military follows this philosophy with classified data, but it's not
practical with most other types of data.

I most certainly wouldn't take Mx's information for any worth with
regards to computer security just based on this thread alone.

I know whereof I speak, but I agree that you should always look things up on
your own.
