Another security fail.

Tally-up another security fail for this development team. First, the app only allowed an 8 character maximum password for file encryption (fixed). Then, they built the app using a trojan version of XCode (also fixed). Now, theyve added the ability to password protect your files within WinZip. BUT... That password can only be 4 numbers (not more or less than 4, and no letters or special characters). My 10-year old nephew can crack that in an hour! At a minimum they should use a 6-digit PIN so my nephew would need a week instead of an hour. Better yet, also introduce an increasing time delay between incorrect guesses that resets every day. Then my nephew would need years to guess your PIN.
