    Not only because the infra is bad but also because floppy is “safer”. It’s not "connected"amd no one can invade it.

        Security through obscurity would be having a system connected to a network, but relying on a secret / unknown protocol to secure it.

        Air-gapping a system is a real and very useful security method. That being said, it’s not enough by itself.

        If you’re interested, have a look at past examples, like the recent work on breaking Tetra communication standard and Stuxnet.

          As another guy joked it’s really is genuinely more accurate to call floppy discs security by obsolescence because everyone doesn’t have the stuff required to manipulate/read floppy discs and there are even people who don’t even know what a floppy disk is and just think it’s a physical save button
