[REQ] RMA = Retainer Mobile App

[worldofneil]

it'd be up to SQE to make sure there wasn't an exploit that could allow it to happen

That's considerably easier said than done. It sounds great on paper, but the fact we have to have security patches at all demonstrates at how impossible a task this is. I'm not talking about just SE either, operating systems, web browsers, routers, mobile devices... we live in a world where updates are continually made available to fix security problems that weren't originally known about.

I do wish that some people would stop being so paranoid though; Sometimes i think people want security so tight that the only way to make it more secure is to block even the customers from getting into the game.

Good. If there was a possible issue with my account, I'd rather they blocked everyone from it, including me, until it could be resolved/deemed safe again. I've personally put way too much effort in over the last 4 years to not be paranoid.

Can things happen? Of course. Will things happen? Maybe.

I really hope SE risk assessment is better than going ahead with something if "maybe" is a known possibility.

Are there ways to put things into place and have adequate security that the service is safe? Absolutely.

You mean SE doing refunding/reversing/rolling back accounts when a problem happens? Yes that's great, but not sure they want that much hassle.

Like everyone else I want a mobile app as well, but security has to be taken very seriously.
