In the movies and presumably in real life, bad guys have smart crooked lawyers advising them. Surely the bad guys have the resources to set up bunch of servers a la iMessage/Whatsapp, and write/deploy their own apps on their mobile devices, running stripped-down custom ROMs, to communicate via these servers, to avoid 3rd party MITM. Don't even need crooked developers, just advertise on Hacker News and whole bunch of "hackers" will jump on it. The CNET article sounds more like a cheapo trick to drive web traffic. _______________________________________________ cryptography mailing list [email protected] http://lists.randombit.net/mailman/listinfo/cryptography
