My big concern how this will be used to justify even worse agendas.
Jan 16 (Reuters) - FBI leaders have warned that hackers who breached AT&T's (T.N) system last year likely stole months of agents' call and text logs, prompting an urgent effort to safeguard confidential informants' identities, Bloomberg News reported on Thursday.
Jesus upjumping Christ the FBI is relying on AT&T & Microsoft for security. Well. There it is.
Is this really a surprise? Do we expect the FBI to not use phones or computers?
When we use at&t's phone lines or Microsoft's operating system, we are implicitly relying on them to be secure. Same would go for using linux or a secure communication app running on top of it. I think most people would rather the FBI be spending time investigating crimes than developing software.
Our spooks were so busy spying on taxpayers that they forgot to do their actual job of "national security"
