If FireEye, ostensibly full of competent people, can be hacked, what hope does the government have for protecting access to legally mandated backdoors in encryption? The silver lining of these events is it shows how ridiculous mandating backdoors would be. It’s begging other nations to attack us.

The steady push towards the 'ease' of accessing w/e you want as long as it is by 'good guys' ignores this argument and quickly pivots to cp, aml, and terrorism ( basically whatever currently works ). It is genuinely maddening.
