I wonder how they personally attacked those experts. Was it public?
- tptacek 8y ago"Personal attack" is a pretty big stretch here. The NSA is generally dismissive of academic cryptographers, and was dismissive here.
- metalliqaz 8y agoOkay that's what the article says but the tweets specifically say that they attacked the credibility of some very well respected security experts
- tptacek 8y agoIf they're talking about what I think they're talking about, they're referring to a technical argument in which pretty much everyone was dismissive. It was still more civil than a typical HN thread, which is in turn more civil than a typical Reddit thread, which in turn is... my point being: outrageous personal attack is a bit of a stretch.
- metalliqaz 8y agoI take it you're referencing a discussion that isn't public?
- twistiti 8y agoSo, the strech is loosely defined. I concur - please reference source material.
