> If the NSA isn’t secure no one is.
Including the hackers? You can’t have it both ways. You can’t say the good guys can never be secure, yet the bad guys somehow are invincible. The resources a hacker group can muster are a fraction of what a nation state can do. Is the budget of the FBI not enough to destroy these gangs?
That’s true, hackers are not secure either, the difference is an NSA type organization is static, a hacker could across the street in a Starbucks, or somewhere on the other side of the world and is probably constantly moving locations making nearly impossible to catch them.
If you haven’t read up on Ross Ulbricht, he ran a Dark Web site called “Silk Road”, which was an Ebay type site where everything under the sun was for sale and payment was made in bitcoin.
His mistake was the Feds finding a website that revealed his identity thru and email from years before and when he was arrested, he was caught in a public library doing admin work on the site.
He got life in prison for his troubles, so no one is safe on the internet, hackers included, sole individuals are much harder to catch.
