Snowden’s had the keys to the kingdom for a while and the NSA was either criminally negligent or disturbingly ignorant in changing the keys.
As a sysadmin, one of the first things we do when an admin leaves is to revoke every last key they had and change the master passwords to everything from our password databases to our voicemail passwords.
Or they have moles inside that are operational.
A hacking/malware tool isn’t as simple as ad or VM. You can’t very well have the malware phone home every so often for password changes and expose additional packets. Ehh or maybe they can if they’ve got all firewalls covered... :) who knows.
Either way their chinglish or whatever you call it was almost too consistent and their topic headings were perfect English. I’m suspicious.
