>gone unnoticed by tens of thousands of security professionals for several years
I like that you seem to be making an honest assessment of the program but I really insist that you check this [1] out to see a few whistleblowers who have tried to bring attention to this, only to be rewarded with federal lawsuits. This has created a climate of fear where people ask "Is it really worth it? Or should I continue collecting my 6-digit paycheck and live in Hawaii?"

- quaunaut 13y agoThe thing is, those are all NSA folks. The tens of thousands of security professionals I'm talking about is everyone outside the NSA.
- lancewiggs 13y agoNobody is talking right? Any one of those security professionals that somehow gets in the know has smartly kept their head down.
- amirmc 13y agoStuxnet/Flame were things put out into the 'wild'. The recent stories are of large-scale dragnets sucking information in. Why should security professionals (outside the entity itself), ever know of it?
