"Anti-virus software is an ideal target for a would-be attacker, according to Joxean Koret, a researcher with Coseinc, a Singapore-based information security consultancy. “If you write an exploit for an anti-virus product you’re likely going to get the highest privileges (root, system or even kernel) with just one shot,” Koret told The Intercept in an email. “Anti-virus products, with only a few exceptions, are years behind security-conscious client-side applications like browsers or document readers. It means that Acrobat Reader, Microsoft Word or Google Chrome are harder to exploit than 90 percent of the anti-virus products out there.”

Massive amounts of fiber optic cable were put in during the dot-com boom. Unlike other communication technologies (cell phone towers, copper cable), this stuff is going to be in great shape for years.

We need to take all that dark cable, connect new hubs, and build a new internet that is separate from the hubs the NSA is monitoring.

NSA has been targeting commercial anti-virus for their own purposes such as tracking users. There's a good reason why I have been telling all Mac users to NOT user any third party AV, it turns off Apple's own built in protection, which would open you up to such NSA shenanigans!
