Real Cyber-Spying

The guy was something of a bozo, using free webmail accounts from locations near his home to email the stuff. It's an interesting read about a legitimate (for once) cyber-bust."
Arrested spy Brian Regan has initiated legal proceedings against the FBI under the DMCA ruling.

"While it is legal in special circumstances to reverse engineer my private messages to Libya - it was clearly illegal in this case. If the FBI start decrypting all messages from spies, then there is nothing to stop them posting them on the Internet for other countries to download for free. How do they expect spies to make a living then? There claim that they had a right to access these photos and that it was only for their private use just doesn't cut it
Well, as a sort-of US of A. authority at Intelink, I can assure you that we have a top-notch security and stuff here. As a matter of Fact, we just hired some pretty keen security-guys from Russia, and some step-overs from China.
One example of our high security is that we use exclusively Adobe PDF personalized format for exchanging information within.
We also recently upgraded our PKI infrastructure to support ROT-14 encrypting method, which makes the "bits of key" ("standard" being 128bit) effectively 8*bytes of encrypted message.

fucktard is a tenderhearted description
Decryption? I hearbye declair the US Gov't is guilty of violating the DMCA and furthermore shall have their internet access revoked until further investigation, and their computers shall be seized and searched for illegal copies of Metallica songs.
Do you think this top secret network includes top secret pop-up adds? If I worked for the CIA, that would make me pretty mad.
Treason is treason, he betrayed his country and like all others who commit treason, should be executed. No questions asked, money back guarantee. Shoot the fscker.
