THESE DOCUMENTS CONTAIN EVIDENCE OF ATTACKS ON VPN, SSL, TLS, SSH, TOR. What do we do now? No seriously, what do we do?

Why the need to do anything? Do you think the NSA, etc. cares about you? They don't.

>>oneway+K5
How do you explain the fact that they spend hundreds of millions of dollars just to break these protocols then? Enough with this "NSA doesn't care about you" argument already.

>>dombil+48
That's literally their job. You should want the NSA looking into every protocol. What they do if they find weaknesses is a different question.

>>oneway+39
I didn't say that's not their job. I'm opposing to what you're saying. Their job is to spy on us, yet you claim they don't care about us. Can you see why I'm confused?

>What they do if they find weaknesses is a different question.

Is it? It's obvious what they're going to do when they find those weaknesses. If they let people know of those weaknesses, they wouldn't be doing their job. Their job is to expose those weaknesses, so they can spy on us and take away whatever we have left, in this case is strong encryption.

>>dombil+N9
Their job is to expose those weaknesses

No...their job is to exploit them, not expose.

Big difference.
