No surprise. With the current publicity, they will hide for a while, but keep on developing stronger capabilities. Then they will give it a new, nice sounding name, and go right ahead with what they always wanted to do.

Yes. Each will have their own profile of sites visited, email senders and recipients, even typing (spelling incl. characteristic typos, grammar, speed, rhythm, vocabulary).

Best guess from this keyboard is the tool has been refined over the previous ten to fifteen years. No doubt the tool is working at top performance for the present day.

My 17 year old read about people being able to activate the webcam and put electric tape over the cam eye. My other teenagers mocked her. I thought she was being wise.

Any Republican in Congress not working to end this violation of the Constitution is just as bad as a Democrat and is betraying the voters, and should be voted out of office.
