It seems to be the focus is a lot on the NSA .. The NSA just happens to be the best at what they do. The Brits and Germans are pretty good too. As a Dutchman I know a lot of the HUMANINT stuff here relies on hijacking SQL databases and metasploit, and what is provided from other sources. But everyone is trying to catch up and make friends with .. We basically need a publicly audited restructuring of our entire communication infrastructure. The problem has grown to such proportions that we now know that we can not trust governing institutions like NIST, or chip manufacturers like Intel for example. What makes matters much worse is that the U.S. government will just keep playing the same card of supposed reforms, while operations will not cease, but instead will do a illusive dance to more black on black policies. At the same time, public interest in the matter has already massively dwindled due to over saturation in media coverage. While the cointelpro is working hard to dismiss everything as essentials to provide us with a (sense of) security for the global fight of terrorism and crime, apathy will prevail. Also I'm referring to U.S. policies a lot, since they are the ring leaders and are influencing international policy and operations at the highest level. But obviously this is a problem across many if not all governments. The nature of intelligence agencies is to gather intelligence by any means. This will never change, never disappear unless we get full transparency on government. Which will never happen due to concerns for national security. And we know where that road will lead to.. ask how Bradly Manning is doing. So no, I'm a bit too informed, and have become way too cynical to be counting on a revolution any time soon :(
