Cryptome.org, a site for privacy enthusiasts and leftists alike, was apparently hacked today. Their server is up but "all files were deleted". Besides the usual anti-American/anti-government vitriol that is usually found at Cryptome.org, they also distribute crypto software. This brings up the following question: What is the best method for ensuring the integrity of software which require a high level of trust? I am almost sure that any crypto software distributed by such extremists as John Young (operator of cryptome.org) has been tampered with in some way. Does anybody else share this opinion?
