The court action revealed that a security key unlocking the database was stored on a publicly accessible place, the online equivalent of stashing a house key under a doormat.
Wow. Terrible. It's more like leaving the key in the lock. Not even remotely secure.
Echoing this. Dan may not have intentionally written it that way, but the implications of "under a doormat" will try to paint viewing as invasive. You can chase people off for digging around your porch and through your stuff.
Compares better to a key taped to an apartment door. I don't enjoy being pedantic, but the concept of "public domain" has been spun up and down into a muddy blur, so precision is chemo.
