Targeting, blackmailing, or extorting a Facebook engineer to insert a subtle backdoor into a closed-source app does seem like a hell of an investment for the Kremlin. Currently stating it's a honeypot is a touch hyperbolic, but I wouldn't be at all surprised to see it happen
And even to a Canadian like me, America is objectively a foreign nation state. Notably, a foreign nation with a "business-focused" incoming president-elect that has previously tried to buy Greenland, and just went "Ha-ha wouldn't it make sense for Canada to become the fifty-first state"
If there was ever a time to trust America less, I'd argue it's now.
- comte7092 2y agoYour reasoning it entirely fair. My point is that this is an article about the perspective of the US government, calling it an obvious honeypot of, say, Russia, is just farcical.
