This is more of a general comment (and warning) to anyone taking the original post to heart.

The only computer which is truely "safe and secure from hackers" is one which isn't connected to the internet, and hackers aren't the only way that the privacy of data can be compromised.

Therefore regardless of promises any mud admin may make, you should always keep your passwords unique from mud to mud, and never give out unnecessary information if it concerns something you wouldn't want being made public.

Completely agreed. No security is absolute, and Security Metrics doesn't certify security as absolute. Having a reputable third party entity verify that you're following reasonable security procedures is well worth it though, for the sake of the users.
