If you use ECB your product will invariably be insecure. So you might
as well not encrypt anyways.

can you elaborate on this? does it really make that much difference?
for that matter why should I encrypt anything, since any process has

my goal is to make it as difficult as reasonably possible to deter
anyone from hacking the data. nothing is perfect, and the best solution
is one that achieves the right balance between cost and results.
