One person's backdoor for police is another person's backdoor for criminals.
- randomchars 14y agoWell said. I'd love to see how would the FBI react if "terrorists" used the same backdoors to get into their systems.
- ihsw 14y agoThat is the last thing the FBI would let you see. It would be so damning that immediate removal will be the only perceived option and the solution would unequivocally to re-double security efforts while maintaining security holes as much as possible. Or switch old security holes out for new ones.

See "The Athens Affair": http://spectrum.ieee.org/telecom/security/the-athens-affair http://spectrum.ieee.org/telecom/security/the-athens-affair Also note the persitent rumors that the FBI's own DCS-3000/DCS-6000 gets 0wned all the time, and used for nefarious/hilarious purposes.
