Good discussion @ Reddit

I tried to read that sfuff, but it made no sense.

A brief summary of what actually happened would be very helpful

 

Apparently he was monitoring his firewall and saw outbound connection to Canadian Secret Intelligence Agency. So he thinks he's backdoored.

On twitter he said he had a meeting with agents and they said cryptocat is a threat to national security.

 

Thanks.

An intelligence agency would probably use anonymous IPs for that, right?

And conversely, people have posted TLA links on Wilders

 

Don't know, don't care. Sorry don't want to end up in the gulag. Just reporting the news.

 

So, encryption is illegal in Canada now? Good to know. Since RIM and Hushmail are still operating...Hmmmm...LOL.

PD

 

It's called CSIS (Canadian Security Intelligence Service), at least you got two of the words right....

 

No, it isn't illegal here.

Also, do you really want to trust HushMail:

He was joking, I think: saying that those services would still be around because they don't really use encryption

 

Yes, joking. Know all about Hush. I didn't mean 'no' encryption...just that it probably doesn't matter, if you know what I mean

PD

 

'And people wonder why the creators of Truecrypt wish to remain anonymous'
HA!
and people in this forum call me paranoid.

they are out to get you.

 

Big Brother, Big Brother everywhere!

 

I don't see the big deal, off course the government is interested in crypto.
