Theoretically possible, yes. But Snowden and the Shadow Brokers indicate that it is practically much harder.

- XMPPwocky 7y agoAgain, the Shadow Brokers stuff is "a staging server was compromised", which just isn't that related to the problem of securing an IM backdoor. Snowden leaked information he had access to, but measures like storing the key in an HSM (and not allowing it to be extracted) largely mitigate that threat.
- beagle3 7y agoDo you have somewhere I can read on the Shadow Brokers' compromised staging server? I was under the impression that actual source code was released (implying a much deeper break) but seems I was wrong, as no article I could find through Google mentions a source code leak -- but none mention a staging server either.
