If people give insecure verification information ("Q: Please verify your PIN."
"A: Five, Five, Five, Five.") then they can't blame the company. Garbage
in, garbage out.
I'll certainly admit there are a lot of people out there who fall into
precisely this category. But at some point, people need to be held responsible
for their own lack of security.
I'll agree on the point of Apple's policy being broken. Verify the last 4
digits of your credit card? Anybody could know that.
