You forget the nsa, interpol. I remember back in the 90s there was a blurb about hackers sniffing packets and using that data to hack those systems. Gotta remember back then everyone had more open ports than shanghai

I mean yeah, maybe? Are you one of the people that believes aes or ecc has a backdoor? I think we'd know by now, and I'm certain they don't have the compute to break aes256.

Keep believing that. Just because all those ports are closed to you and me is no guaratee that theyre not being keyed for them

Im not paranoid about anything. I merely read what gets published and sift out the trash
