Food for thought. Customers all over the place use their stuff for "secure" banking.

To be honest I'm not at all surprised. There has been a number of rumors/stories, etc over the years that NSA/CIA has gone to M$ so that they do not patch vulnerabilities unless they are made public by someone else.

Also read a article recently about Torvalds and Linux. During some conference someone asked him if he had been approached any government agency about back dooring the kernel. He verbally replied No while nodding his head Yes. But no other details.

Good police work or a national disgrace? What civil rights and liberties are we willing to lose, err, lost?

This sucks. I'm embarrassed by the baton I'm passing on to my Granddaughter.
