What’s disgusting is that everyone believes that NSA is the only Agency low enough to do such a thing. I’ll bet my life that England, China, Russia and Germany Intels were all doing the same tricks.

It will cost RSA a lot more than 10mil to recover from this.

Wasn’t RSA hacked or compromised earlier this year?

I have an RSA token for my employer's website.
The idea that an intelligence agency has been subverting security applications should not be a shock to anyone. What bothers me is my perception that safeguards and processes to protect Joe Citizen within the Intelligence Community are being ignored or subverted.
It is an incredible dilemna. As a patriot, I want the NSA to be able to crack into any system. But I also worry about abuse. Who watches the Watchers?

RSA is now open to a huge class action lawsuit. They have promoted their product as the gold standard of security. They intentionally lied to the public about the security of their product. And worse, they were paid to insert a security flaw.

Hopefully this causes RSA to go bankrupt. They took 30 pieces of silver to sell their souls.

Your brand of “patriotism” would be well received in Cuba or Venezuela.

As a patriot, I want the NSA to be able to crack into any system. I'm glad I'm not your kind of patriot. I don't want them ever to be able to break into my secure communications. I don't trust them (the NSA) any further than I trust any country's security apparatus.

Has anyone come forward yet to show how much they paid u-soft to install a backdoor in every version of ‘doze? The one where some Unknown Coder listed the call as “NSAbackdoor” or something?
