Sorry that you're the one to get the brunt of this, but I'm really bored of the NSA snark on unrelated articles. Yes, we get that they've done some terrible things. No, they didn't set up UA's security disclosure problem in some sort of obscure conspiracy to get hold of hacker's passport numbers.
- JupiterMoon 11y agoOn balance I probably agree that this particular scheme is unlikely to be an NSA scheme. However, if we learned anything from Snowden it is err on the side of assuming that if it is possible then the NSA will eventually try to do it - and this definitely includes forcing US companies to act on their behalf. So post-Snowden the derogatory slur of "obscure conspiracy" doesn't carry so much weight.
