20:48:27 ascii_field: great sim heist << transparent nsa smokescreen. gsm uses toy crypto since day one (usg mandate) and has always been breakable with minimal effort.

20:48:44 ascii_field: ergo this is not why they stole the keys (assuming the snowden document is genuine)

20:49:45 ascii_field: the press, rancid mixture of stooges and useful idiots, help to push the implication that 'now we can switch to keys that have not yet been stolen, and no more interception'

What worries me is that people dont seem to care about about their privacy. Frightening stuff, thanks for the posting links hippie/keyscore44.

if you think this is new news then i guess you missed the fact that project ECHELON has been around since before most people were even born.

Seems to be getting worse:

http://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2015/feb/19/nsa-gchq-sim-card-billions-cellphones-hacking

"American and British spies hacked into the world’s largest sim card manufacturer in a move that gave them unfettered access to billions of cellphones around the globe and looks set to spark another international row into overreach by espionage agencies.

The National Security Agency (NSA) and its British equivalent GCHQ hacked into Gemalto, a Netherlands sim card manufacturer, stealing encryption keys that allowed them to secretly monitor both voice calls and data, according to documents newly released by NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden!.

Basically if installed in every device, a lot of lawsuits worldwide + bad publicity would destroy any big hardware producer. Thats why I believe it is only in targeted devices delivered for the one investigated

I really hope the NSA is brought to justice on these allegations if true. How can they get away with this. I suppose people could have their coins stolen by rouge agents so it does effect bitcoiners and it's something we shouldnt have to worry about.

The thing with malware within the firmware of hard drives is a big problem and that you can't detect them.

That they even infiltrate/attack hospitals is morally disgusting.



They don't care. They obviously just have a sickeningly perverse desire to know and attempt to control everything.

All cryptos are FIAT digital currency. Do not use.
