- NicoJuicy 13y agoI don't see them doing that against the chairman of the EU parlement ;). Spying in secret, yeah, sure. But hitting with a wrench? :P
- Piskvorrr 13y agoThat's not the point of the comics, IMNSHO. The point is "the attacker will go for the weakest link in a system; secure enough crypto is no longer the weakest link, people using it become one." So...while using direct force against a prominent politician is unlikely, there are other tried-and-true methods for compromising a human element, methods which have already been perfected a long time before modern cryptography was even born: bribery, blackmail, etc.
