      This (NYT) isn't correct. NOTHING new about saying *if* your phone is hacked, your apps can be bypassed. Has always been true & reported. pic.twitter.com/UOc8uT5zmm

      it's common to be a little off on first take of a complicated breaking story but I'd think NYT, AP etc cleared it up pretty quick?

      If not clear: I find media rush to report without proper investigation to be huge part of the problem; one that deserves great scrutiny.

      Now folks claim I apologize for gov't surveillance. I've been writing about dangers of both gov surveillance & device insecurity for YEARS.

      It's like this: terrorism is an issue, a horrific one. Exaggerating and sensationalizing it is misleading, harmful. Same with surveillance.+

      Must fight against mass surveillance & overzealous targeted surveillance; must harden devices & use encryption--ALSO NEED BALANCE & SANITY.

      Especially if you are a journalist, open attachments in Chromebooks; iPads or iPhones; or Gdocs. Windows Word and Adobe cannot be secured.

      For private & secure messaging, use Signal or WhatsApp (FB has metadata), not SMS, Snapchat or Confide!! Don't use non-updated Android. sigh

      Yep. No surprise if you read the NYT piece I just published. "Literate" press often misses this side. https://www.nytimes.com/2017/03/09/opinion/the-truth-about-the-wikileaks-cia-cache.html … @meganlibermanpic.twitter.com/84wMtpaVtj

          Also I got left and right confused above. #FAKENEWS. But I wouldn't be surprised if it got in a presidential tweet. Pretty viral right now.
