You usually also keep you databases there (regardless of what programing
language it is), so you better worry about that.
Also, you can encrypt your code with ionCube or other encoders. It's secure.

What is it with all those questions mr. Erwin ?
Making some kind of statistics ?

No, it's a Chinese troll wanting us to think it's Erwin.

Awww.. that's exciting ;)

And you are tight, trace route says it's in China...

I expected a post explaining the silly question flood from legitimate
name owner ;)

On the other hand.. maybe it is the 'regards Erwin' who just uses some
Chinese proxy to fool us ?

Nope, that's not like Erwin. He's a straight shooter.

Hehe, I like how this discussion ends in not checking direct data (IP,
mail address and so on) but guessing some kind of "mental and common
sense" of that person to certify him (or not).

There could be plenty of proofs, none is reliable more than an "usual
way to behave" :p

Life surely is easy for our dear fakes and trolls :p

And even though it's compiled, there are numerous decompilers available.
