I wish I could say that I'm surprised but no... not surprised at all. Same for the IoT stuff.
- nightpool 10y agoWhy would you be surprised by the fact that if your phone is compromised, even the best encryption software in the world isn't going to help?
- homakov 10y agoAnother victim of sensationalism.
- monochromatic 10y agoThe conclusions are correct. Talking about them isn't sensationalist just because you think they're foreseeable.
- homakov 10y agoI refered to "being not surprised that encryption is broken". There was nothing relevant to encr in the document. The title is wrong.
- joeyspn 10y agoWho said "being not surprised that encryption is broken"??? Read the quote again: "Intercepting audio/texts before encryption" I'm not surprised that they can INTERCEPT and read ALL your communications... jeez
- tmccrmck 10y agoYep. We all knew it was happening but turn a blind eye. And then one of these revelations are exposed and we all start wearing tin foil hats for a month or two.
- CaptSpify 10y agoThe big question for me is: What's the alternative? AFAIK, there's no secure replacement for most IoT stuff, or phones.
