Last weekend I was watching a American Greed on CNBC. It was about a
hacker with a CS degree and a IT job, in the bay area who was
stealing credit card numbers. The FBI eventually caught him but what
was interesting was when he was interviewed in prison he said the FBI
broke in through his front door and arrested him. He thought he had,
in his words, three bricks for computers, because they were
encrypted. He thought that all the FBI had gotten was three useless
bricks. Apparently, the FBI encryption lab was able to decrypt the
computers. He never said what kind of encryption, but a hacker with a
undergraduate degree in CS would know how to use strong
encryption. I did not think such a thing was possible

Remember Apple's Geographic issue? Nothing in comparison to this..
text, geographic locations, web histories, etc. all being sent back
and stored for those on Android.
Thought you data was private? SORRY!
