Any plans to target the coming fedwares? These quotes should explain.
The Government Wants A Backdoor Into Your Online Communications (https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2013/05/caleatwo)
Those of us who actually manage network security all know that these backdoors only present more exploit vectors and a true "ticking timebomb" set to explode at multiple levels of network infrastructure.
If anyone wishes to review the PDF article describing the risks involved in endpoint wiretap modifications which I am almost wholly in agreement with, you can find the link here; https://www.cdt.org/blogs/joseph-lorenzo-hall/1705leading-security-experts-say-fbi-wiretapping-proposal-would-undermine-
What is not discussed is the ramifications dealing with all the attempts to circumvent/disable the fedwares that will occur and the scams that will crop up pitching the ways and means to disable them.

Do we really want idiots deciding the fate of a so called free society?
It might get weird when folks start realizing that their endpoint devices contain US gov wiretaps.
