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.

According to the leaked files, Chinese company 'Topsec' was also an Equation Group target. The leak mentioned names of some of the hacking tools that correlate with names used in the documents leaked by whistleblower Edward Snowden, like "BANANAGLEE" and "EPICBANANA."

That was a dark moment on my life

My oldest boy when his hair is long looks a lot like Snow

He is about the only major player not morally compromised left

I knew he was coming back.

He *had* to.

He's the nexus of the whole show.

However, This guy is the only "pure" character, in that he is always true to his nature.

[frankly, I don't give a flip who else they kill off, so long as the dog lives] :D

It could all very well be an AP(advanced persistent threat) in the form of malware or Trojan left behind. Working in financial IT, I can tell you that we are under audit almost year round and they LOVE to tell us we have holes all over despite the risk being low.

If the NSA isn’t auditing its own operations, then shame on them.
