Private Key

Every "encryption expert" until someone asks them to actually name a single private key they know. Turns out most of us just copy-paste from the .pem file and pray it works. The beauty of modern cryptography is that you can be an expert without actually knowing any of your keys—they're all just blobs of base64 nonsense living rent-free in your ~/.ssh folder. Setting the bar at "name 4 private keys" is like asking a chef to name 4 individual grains of rice in their pantry.

Expert On BBC

BBC brings on a "cyber correspondent" to discuss a critical PHP vulnerability, and the guy casually admits he didn't even know PHP existed until yesterday morning. Meanwhile, he's explaining to millions how cybercriminals could exploit it to deface websites and plant malicious code. Nothing inspires confidence quite like a security expert who just discovered one of the most widely-used server-side languages on the planet approximately 18 hours ago. Really makes you wonder what his qualifications are. "I can use Google" probably tops the resume. The best part? He's still managing to sound more authoritative than the average Stack Overflow answer. At least he's honest about his ignorance, which is more than you can say for most "cybersecurity experts" on TV.
