It appears others are becoming aware...
"Russians" my ass...
A “trojan horse backdoor”?? Those are two different things.
A Trojan Horse is something coming through the front door pretending to be something else.
A backdoor is an opening left by a programmer.
I've posted this many times. The purpose of NSA technical reviews is to make sure our adversaries can not crack our encryption standards and also to slip in weaknesses that only they can also exploit, since our adversary's can also use these standards. It's not some simple backdoor that a Snowden can leak. It is a weakness that even if known, doesn't do our adversary's any good if they don't have the raw computing power and specialized algorithms to take advantage.
Which standard? Are we talking AES? Something more specific like GCM or CCM?
The CIA and NSA use Cloud Sourcing.
It happens all the time and for most part no one in the deep state does a damn thing. Thats because these companies give money to politicians in states that have a heavy tech business; such as Silicon Valley CA, west coast WA/OR, research traingle NC, etc. Its shameful.
When Trump banned Huawei and Tik Tok, for example, it ruffled alot of feathers. Dont expect such concern for our tax dollars or network security to come from the current admin.
Rd later.
