You can use one, but you can expect it's exploited. It might not be a happy fact, but we shouldn't deny it if it's true.
The NSA by itself has 40,000 employees, tens of billions in budget, the best tools and tech in the world, and a track record of doing such things. I expect that if they see a valuable vulnerability, they will develop an exploit.
- nickpsecurity 10y agoMost of them aren't exploiting software. I like to instead give the dollar amount they put into backdooring, hacking, or tapping major software or networks: $200+ million a year. Still a staggering amount that supports your point. If they doubt, just ask if they think whatever they're using is safe from all the black hats NSA could hire for just 1% of that amount? And for how long? Answer isn't optimistic...
