    > Electron does not support encryption or protected file locations by default

    Jesus, this article is wrong on so many levels. Electron is fundamentally a way to build cross-platform apps with C, C++, and web technologies. It supports anything the operating system supports.

    We also follow Electron's security guidelines, and then some. We've open sourced an Electron app base that uses the same secure defaults here, if you would like to take a look. This includes disabling dangerous options like Node.JS integration. Let's jump to your specific example cases from past Electron tire-fires next. As a full disclaimer, Electron adds options now and then so its possible some of our prevention mechanisms might not have been as effective at the time these exploits in 2018 occurred.
