Team's Response

Yes I agree that ideally its best if there were proper encyption used to store data so as to prevent tampering. However, the main focus of the module was on OOP and not encryption methods itself hence we were not too focused on dealing with the information security aspect of the app in this iteration. However this is one of the future enhancements we had planned out for the application.
