FBI Baffled by Encryption (FBI DIRECTOR Wray wants back diirs on devices)
The Still Report - Youtube ^ | Jan 13, 2018 | Bill Still

Posted on 01/14/2018 8:51:50 AM PST by Ernest_at_the_Beach

Good evening, I’m still reporting on: FBI Baffled by Encryption, 1978 Synopsis: New FBI Director Christopher Wray, speaking on Tuesday at a cyber-security conference in New York, said that powerful encryption tools now becoming widely available are frustrating his agency. Surprise, surprise; last year, the FBI was unable to access data from 7800 devices – that’s over 50% - despite having legal authority to do so – i.e. a legitimate warrant from a real judge. Wray warned the audience of cyber-security experts from around the world: “This is an urgent public safety issue. [The solution] is not so clear cut.” The FBI has been trying to require manufacturers to provide backdoors into their devices for law enforcement who obtain a warrant. However, the public is demanding more security from the government, not less, especially in light of the fact that the latest batch of cyber criminals were a literal cabal within both the FBI and Justice Department to attack the current President and help cover the crimes of his opponent and her husband, a past president. Just a few months ago some wondered if the FBI was not playing a deceitful game by pretending not to be able to break through current encryption techniques. However, it has recently come to light that utilizing the best commercially-available security practices can stop government snooping cold – even one level of technology above that level currently available to the FBI. Yes, this is a huge problem for law enforcement, but one that is self-generated. Therefore, this is an impossible time for Mr. Wray to effectively make this case due to his own Bureau’s recent and ongoing illegal activities. Wray could, at any moment, throw open the doors of complete transparency to the FBI’s involvement with the Clinton Crime Cabal. Instead, he has chosen to continue to use the immense power of the Bureau to stonewall Congressional investigations and obstruct justice at every step of the way.

The FBI is a pack of lying criminals and I hope they tear their freaking hair out over this.

Does anyone think it would be a good idea for the postal service to open all letters and scan them before delivering them? To me, that’s not conceptually much different than what the NSA is doing now with electronic communication.

I never thought I’d see this day when people would be saying that Law enforcement in this country has become a clear and present danger to freedom.

We can’t trust them, we should have never trusted them.

Can’t trust them on FISA or 702s.

FBI Leadership by going after all these people in an abuse of power has created this trust issue, I suspect that when this abuse fully comes to light, they will loose complete access to this information.

The FBI seems to be baffled by doing their job. How did the Las Vegas shooting investigation turn out?

If the FBI did not act like they were a clear and present danger to freedom, people probably would not be saying it.

I'd like to repeat that because I'm stunned at how much the FBI has discredited itself.

Itself.

The last thing I want at this point is to give that cabal of crooks and traitors (at the top) more power and capability to spy on us. They have to start over and rebuild their credibility from the ground up with me.

Once more into the breach dear friends. . . another article on the FBI vs. American citizen's personal privacy. Strangely enough, this time, instead of an Apple device, the one device that the FBI cannot get into from the Las Vegas massacre is a Samsung Galaxy phone, most likely protected by a third-party 256 bit AES encryption which only Stephan Paddock knew the key, because there are multiple tools to unlock Android devices on the market. — PING!

Pinging dayglored, ShadowAce, and ThunderSleeps for their respective ping lists.

I confess to having had that question myself.

......the public is demanding more security from their government .......in light of shocking revelations that the latest batch of cyber criminals were operating on American soil....a virtual cabal setup (and protected) within Obama's FBI and Justice Department.........

This assorted band of Secret Police were ordered to attack the current President (even before he declared as a candidate)......and aided and abetted the coverup of massive crimes committed by Hillary and her husband (while Bill Clinton held office, and, later, out of office as the ex-president).

They had a back door, but we discovered it, and now it’s a hugh chip-based Intel security problem. It is called the Meltdown bug.

Great. More good news. Sounds like there is a market for envelopes that can defeat this.
