My guess is that’s just the spending they can talk about. The rest probably is black as the inside of a lump of coal and dwarfs this spending. Also, where is NSA? Probably already involved up to their necks.
LOL... the NSA probably reads their internal email...
And yes, it’s very black and the tools are damn powerful. A buddy of mine is a security expert, works for a large electronic target, and goes to these ‘meetings’ where buncha guys in black suits come out and give a briefing on the latest threats. And he can’t tell anyone outsied the security office anything.
Yea. Black. And *well* funded. And *powerful*. They make whole companies disappear (mostly those that make security tools).
