PARIS (AP) -- The exposure of malicious software purportedly linked to the National Security Agency is likely a message from Moscow, former intelligence worker Edward Snowden said Tuesday, adding a layer of intrigue to a leak that has set the information security world abuzz.

Technical experts have spent the past day or so picking apart a suite of tools allegedly stolen from the Equation Group , a powerful squad of hackers which some have tied to the NSA. The tools materialized as part of an internet electronic auction set up by a group calling itself "Shadow Brokers," which has promised to leak more data to whoever puts in a winning bid.

It should be a warning to all that internet security does not exist.

There is no security on this earth, there is only opportunity.

General Douglas MacArthur (1880 - 1964)

“There is no security on this earth, there is only opportunity.

General Douglas MacArthur (1880 - 1964)”

Unless, of course, you are Barack Obama. He stated once that “no power on earth can stop us”. “us”, of course, means him.

Yes!
Email is like a chain letter, you get into the server and every email has a trail that can be followed backwards.
Once you have that, every person whose emails were sent thru that server can be traced back to their source.
And of course those sources have chains and trails of their own to follow..........

We no longer have any security for our government as Hillary likely tore apart and to shreds our national security, but to them “what difference does it make”.

They hide the ramifications of the serious nature of what she did as though she was working for Mary Kay Cosmetics. Cosmetic companies now have tighter security than our government does.

My feeble explanation is close. They will never allow the citizens of the US know just how much damage was done by this harradan’s actions. People think that, oh it’s just some stupid emails, but in reality it was like handing the keys to the entire national security apparatus to our enemies!

The people have no idea.........
