      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 …

      Anyway, I wrote this after being pinged by many panicked people about Signal etc., misled by careless media & WL. https://www.nytimes.com/2017/03/09/opinion/the-truth-about-the-wikileaks-cia-cache.html …

      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?

      Many of our readers don't attend those conferences, sadly

      Fair; but the reporting should reflect the ground truth. "CIA cache shows they use mostly mediocre, mostly known tools.."

      And also report the threat proportionally; iPhones are known to be much more secure to this, for example..

      I think many readers got the wrong impression that CIA has some wizardry and easy remote and/or mass surveillance capacity.

      Or that Wikileaks had actually revealed something that wasn't known. I wrote op-ed because got bombarded by worried people.
