"the notice is also notable for its almost pristine grammar"

Might wanna check again. The grammar was terrible.

It managed to use "its" correctly, which is more than the average native English speaker seems capable of doing. Even though there were some obvious mistakes and a few places contained awkward phrasing, on the whole I thought the grammar was quite decent.

possible sarcasm? tone always seems to get lost in translation.

Maybe, but it does explain the general encryption process in an understandable way, so I doubt it's sarcastic.

sarcasm != satire

I agree with you, but it's still possible that the part about pristine grammar was sarcastic without the entire article being satirical.
