Seems FSB has better security than CIA.
90% of intelligence community cyber security spending is on offensive projects, so this revelation should not be too surprising. (http://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-cyber-defense-idUSKBN17013U http://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-cyber-defense-idUSKBN1...)
- sandworm101 10y agoAnd FSB's attack surface is less than 1% of CIA's. Much fsb work is farmed out to contractors, the offensive stuff that CIA keeps in house. CIA people chat via email, messaging and by voice. FSB people chat in person. That's why russian hackers are always traveling while CIA hackers keep having thier stuff leaked.
- equalunique 10y agoGreat points. I don't know many details of how they operate. Someone told me they still rely on paper-based methods in order to avoid some types of electronic surveillance. In theory, 50% offense and 50% defense should be the only budget for a sane operation.

- dredmorbius 10y agoHow, specifically, is that proof of anything?
- Crito 10y agoCitation for suspicion? Is this a joke?
- dredmorbius 10y agoA reference to who is suspicious and why is deadly serious.
- 1_2__3 10y agoYes, surely that's the reason.
