  1. Re:Open source? on The Startling Array of Hacking Tools In NSA's Armory · · Score: 1

    The NSA and any national intelligence forces have ZERO access to messages that are encrypted 256 at source and only decrypted using long (eg 25 character non-dictionary) passwords that have been exchanged manually. Even a SuperComputer would take hundreds of thousands of years or more to crack these, and never forget paper messages exchanged manually bypass ANY security altogether! So either stone-age bits of paper or very high tech encryption will suffice. If there is an additional random insert of characters based on a further password, decryption is totally totally impossible! The only weak point is getting hold of the passwords and encryption methods. If these are secure, no-one else can get at the data. The sensible thing to do of course is to have a different passwords for each data destination, So even if one is compromised, all the others are secure!

  3. Re:That's what you get on USB Sticks Used In Robbery of ATMs · · Score: 1

    LOL! - Beats me why the USB port isn't hidden safely inside with secure bank access only! That would be BASIC common sense!

    WOW! Boo Hoo NSA HaHa!!!!
