If there was a shred of honest concern, they would work with journalists and security researchers. Not PR campaigns. https://twitter.com/FutureWelcomes/status/840568227562426368 …

How it works. Also note diff:. iPhone 0day will get fixed. Android exploit publicized just means more exploiters. https://twitter.com/ncweaver/status/840564568527065088 …

To end, two things. I've been warning about state mass surveillance before Snowden. I've been writing about device insecurity for years.
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 …

Friends don't let friends use non-Google Android. Apple should cut its huge profit margin, release lower end phones. https://twitter.com/wings_silent/status/840574162313830400 …

I almost never talk about *Russia" except as it pertains to fixing what's ailing US, Europe elsewhere. https://twitter.com/mjvdpas/status/840575046297014272 …

Unfortunately, open source turns out to be no panacea, sometimes even weaker. It is not a solution. I wish it were. https://twitter.com/wings_silent/status/840577205394636800 …

Open gets you visibility, but does not buy engineering hours.
