" I laughed at his insistence re off-site backups."
Was that because you knew about interdiction or the fact that a 3rd party might have no security? ;)
"He only took over that department in 2013, after more than two decades at NSA. He is a manager, not an agent. His practical knowledge is limited to what he has been told and has bothered to read. "
That's probably true. In that case, though, he'd still know they attacked stuff lower in the stack, did implants, used radar, etc. It's in the basic catalog. How much he'd understand I don't know. That he neglects their methods of hitting hardware or getting physical access suggest he's misleading intentionally.
"ou don't get to be head of a department in a spy agency by helping the public avoid spies."
And that's why. I thought at headline that the guy would have to be a defector or new whistleblower if we were going to get anything out of this. He still works there? And is helping us stop TAO? Who buys this kind of BS...?
