This came up in congress a couple weeks ago didn't it? I think Rubio had mentioned Kapersky it knowing that it was a public hearing... some speculated that this was perhaps because he was privy to some classified things he couldn't say publicly but wanted to get the word out that they can't be trusted.

Funny how this Cybersecurity reporter publish his PGP key using unsecured protocol. http://www.ericjgeller.com/pgp_ejg.txt
Uhmm... that's a public key. So it doesn't matter. He could put it on a billboard in Times Square.
I believe keda's point is it's served over HTTP not HTTPS so there's no way to verify you're not being MITM'd when looking at it.
(A possible workaround is to check via multiple connections, check Google's cache, etc)

#23NSA /CIA and our National Security is as secure as the weakest link. They need not be traitors, just people that got too complacent...while Russia never sleeps (Like NSA does when Russians and others screw up.) It isn't easy but if tens of thousands people have access to something, it's just a matter of time. And they need access "to connect the dots" so it's a losing game.
> Russia never sleeps (Like NSA does when Russians and others screw up.) Do you have a number of reliable sources for this, or is it just unsubstantiated us-vs-them jingoism?
Do you have a number of reliable sources for this
You want a source to back up that Russia is always looking to hack us, and USA is always looking to hack the Russians?

#24No confirmation from the NSA, only "leaks" from anonymous "multiple people with knowledge of the matter."
How do we know it's not another piece of fake news riding the wave of "Russia did it"?

Because you trust journalists to do their job in verifying sources, which maintains their credibility.
I want you to think your cunning plan through. What do you think would happen if journalists actually lied?

#26Another damn NSA contractor took confidential information home. Epic fail.
It's of their own doing: https://www.salon.com/2013/06/11/500000_contractors_can_acce... Also, I believe I read a recent article about them allowing even more private companies access to this stuff, but I can't find a link right now.
I had trouble taking that article seriously. It was really preachy and everybody but Snowden is apparently a mindless idiot.

Welp! Ya solved it! Good job! We can all go home now everyone. This guy solved it. Rest assured, that this story was not thoroughly researched and is indeed fake news. Go on now, nothing to see here.

I believe the author is asking for a source for your claim that "Russia never sleeps but the NSA does". That seems like an apocryphal claim unless you have high-level knowledge of the inner workings of both Russia's and America's intelligence communities (and are willing to share it here).

He explicitly quoted what he wanted sources for. Don't try to be cute.
In other words, what makes you say the NSA is complacent and that Russia is ahead.
