However, there are many people who know how to attack cryptographic systems. Using cryptography incorrectly can sometimes lead to having false confidence in an insecure system. What’s worse, incorrectly-used cryptography can sometimes be hard to spot if you are not an expert, so these mistakes may be exploited for long periods of time.

🔔 Sensitive data exposure is such a common mistake in web applications that it is 2017 OWASP Top 10 #3. Sensitive data exposure is not always caused by poor use of cryptography, but it is a common underlying cause. 2021 CWE Top 25 #35 is Cleartext Transmission of Sensitive Information ([CWE-319](https://cwe.mitre.org/data/definitions/319.html)). *Inadequate encryption strength* is such a common cause of security vulnerabilities by itself that it is 2019 CWE Top 25 #3 (it is [CWE-326](https://cwe.mitre.org/data/definitions/326.html)).

🔔 Cryptographic failures are 2021 OWASP Top 10 #2. It was 2017 OWASP Top 10 #3 and then named Sensitive Data Exposure.
