    We've been fortunate enough to not have a global active adversary that is willing to manipulate packets on a large scale, so end-to-end encrypted chat systems didn't have to focus much on the key verification problem. That looks like it's going to change:

    Ian Levy of GCHQ has released an essay on how law enforcement should get access to end-to-end encrypted communications. Here is the critical bit to pay attention to. They're proposing to exploit the fact that users don't verify each other's public keys, and inject bad keys.

    Absolute madness: the British government wants companies to poison their customers' private conversations by secretly adding the government as a third party, meaning anyone on your friend list would become "your friend plus a spy." No company-mediated identity could be trusted.

    Politico publishes article by CIA officer using pen name. Carl Bernstein wrote about CIA using US media in 1977: "...400 US journalists who in the past 25 yrs have secretly carried out assignments for the CIA." "...full-time CIA employees masquerading as journalists abroad."

    I have no words for the Politico piece. We’ve gone from unnamed sources to unnamed authors.

    4/ POLITICO also allowed this ex-CIA agent's to falsely claim that the only people raising doubts about the Guardian's story are people who are part of "Russia’s disinformation network." In fact, as noted, a wide range of people raised doubts about the story. Compare:

    “I helped [Snowden] from the bottom of my heart. There was no pressure for me, no thinking twice to help him … What he’s done, I’m very proud of him, he’s a hero.” There are many heroes in the Snowden tale, and they deserve support and protection.

    This hacking technology is not just terrifying for critics and dissidents in autocratic states but for ordinary citizens everywhere, as it is reportedly able to access any smart phone with nothing more than the phone number.

    Journalists working this story should note that none of Group's many, many statements made after the murder deny selling their digital weaponry to Saudi Arabia. Every country in which this company has operated should be pressured to open criminal investigations.

    Just to recap: after initially calling our story inaccurate, (and internally calling it “false”), Facebook has now confirmed most, if not all of our reporting. They just waited until eve of Thanksgiving when they thought as few as possible people would be reading.

    "Did we ask them to do work on George Soros? Yes." Facebook took responsibility for hiring a lobbying company that pushed negative stories about Facebook’s critics.
