Useful column. But still think "bypassing encryption" is the right term (and @zeynep ends up using it here). CIA gets around the encryption.https://twitter.com/zeynep/status/840264430281773057 …

Thanks. The initial story, unfortunately said "if confirmed" leak would "rock" the tech world when it would cause.. a yawn.

So a narrow, properly contextualized use of "bypassed" would be accurate except.. hardly news. No need to invoke encryption!

Folks use encryption to ensure privacy. CIA docs show the limits of encryption in protecting comms from your phone.

Not news re: CIA docs at all. Device insecurity has been routinely reported in academic and other conferences for.. decades?

I believe that an alleged CIA cache is news, but if anything, this stuff was mundane, reported stuff for industry & academy.
