By Ludwig De Braeckeleer Source: http://www.inteldaily.com/?c=169&a=4686 For years US eavesdroppers could read encrypted messages without the least difficulty. For decades, the US National Security Agency (NSA) has been reading effortlessly ultra sensitive messages intercepted from all parts of the world. This extraordinary feat was not the consequence of the work of some genius cyber mathematician. Nor was it the result of the agency dominance in the field of super computers, which allegedly have outpaced their most direct rivals by orders of magnitude. The truth is far simpler and quite troubling. The game was rigged. For half a century, Crypto AG, a Swiss company located in Zug, has sold to more than 100 countries the encryption machines their officials rely upon to exchange their most sensitive economic, diplomatic and military messages. Crypto AG was founded in 1952 by the legendary (Russian born) Swedish cryptographer Boris Hagelin. During World War II, Hagelin sold 140,000 of his machine to the US Army. "In the meantime, the Crypto AG has built up long standing cooperative relations with customers in 130 countries," states a prospectus of the company. The home page of the company Web site says, "Crypto AG is the preferred top-security partner for civilian and military authorities worldwide. Security is our business and will always remain our business." And for all those years, US eavesdroppers could read these messages without the least difficulty. A decade after the end of WWII, the NSA, also known as No Such Agency, had rigged the Crypto AG machines in various ways according to the targeted countries. It is probably no exaggeration to state that this 20th century version of the "Trojan horse" is quite likely the greatest sting in modern history. In effect, US intelligence had spies in the government and military command of all these countries working around the clock without ever risking the possibility of being unmasked.
Interesting but did you really think this was not going on? Privacy in this world is non-existent anymore! Anyone who thinks anything is safe better be careful!
That's exactly right. I thought it was funny when people were shocked that Cyber-Rights (HushMail) were feeding the Gov. their keys.
Needless to say, this is why we went into the internet privacy business. The next main post I make in here will show you a little more about supposedly "secure" US based email providers.
This is actually sad, another American who refuses to acknowledge the truth about what his own government does. Whats even sadder, is the fact that the American media also reports these same facts. It must be hard for you to swallow the truth huh?
Not sure where you came up with that...weirdo! Just don't spam us or you'll be gone....THAT IS THE TRUTH!
No one is spamming any one here and this thread has already gotten good reviews. You are the only one here that is complaining about any thing.
Based on my history? What about it? When I was new here, yes, I made a few advertising mistakes in the wrong forums. Thats about all the mistakes I have made here. So what "history" are you referring to?
