NSA has attacked and broken nearly all VPNs.

"While some VPN technologies—specifically, those based on the Point-to-Point Protocol (PPTP)—have previously been identified as being vulnerable because of the way they exchange keys at the beginning of a VPN session, others have generally been assumed to be safer from scrutiny. But in 2010, the NSA had already developed tools to attack the most commonly used VPN encryption schemes: Secure Shell (SSH), Internet Protocol Security (IPSec), and Secure Socket Layer (SSL) encryption."

Using Star Trek names to advance oppression is unseemly.

More government failure: With their claim that North Korea hacked Sony debunked, FBI tries to salvage it by wondering if North Korea hired the Sony hackers.

"As North Korea lacks the capability to conduct some elements of the sophisticated campaign by itself, US investigators are looking at the possibility that Pyongyang "contracted out" some of the cyber work, according to the official, who was not authorised to speak on the record about the investigation."

Just weeks ago, after the FBI declared North Korea performed the hack, the press dutifully reported on Come on. North Korea's elite hacker team. Now they don't have the capability for the hack. Make up your mind, propagandists. This shows the superiority of private investigators.

More government failure: massive gun smuggling on airline.

More government failure. Strongman tactics.
