This script is referred to as a "security development" because it can provide some minimal level of security. While it does seem to be an effective elementary form of security the developer does not claim that it is an impenetrable solution and thus the developer does not recommend implementing it for the protection of highly sensitive data.

As of the date of this notice this problem has only effected Microsoft Internet Explorer versions with these updates. Archreality is currently working on modifications to this script.
