I remain concerned about journalists and dissident security. I understand some security issues can appear counterintuitive. Complex space.

This release didn't help anything and likely hurt a good deal—media gullibility helping along—by fostering confusion about encryption.

A few bugs patched? I wish that were an actual fix. There are actual fixes, some things are getting better. *This* is distraction to worse.

Unfortunately, most people in media don't understand the infosec space and there are many snake oil sellers—beltway bandits to Wikileaks.

This issue is made worse by the fact that some of the more competent people are "grayhat." Nature of the space, its incentives.

So I end with plea to media: there are academic and industry security researchers you can talk with. Genuine, independent people. Please do!

No such thing was released. By the way, that if such keys existed, they would leak, is why they should not exist. https://twitter.com/DynoJJ/status/840574563830382592 …
