[arin-ppml] API Key Security Issue

[Michael Peddemors]

Email security is a separate issue from transparency, and a separate 
problem.  For ANY email associated with any critical service, eg domain 
registrars, arin, etc..

Simply lock down the email account.. 2FA comes to mind ;)

You probably are more at risk from scams, such as fake renewal notices, 
phishing etc..

Love to hear more about who sent that warning out..

The value of showing the contact information of the responsible party is 
paramount.  Security of your email account (spam protection, auth 
protections) is a completely different story.

Security via obfuscation is not security..
