Dotcom cleared to sue Govt - follow up
Authored by: Anonymous on Thursday, December 06 2012 @ 06:20 PM EST
Following up this post - Dotcom suspects his traffic was broken (the police
could have tracked his phone, why bring in GCSB?). GCSB is the NZ arm of the
UKUSA communications interception/code breaking agreement from the 1950s (NZ is
in for historical reasons and also because its location enables good
interception of some important kinds of signals). If strongly coded messages
were broken then other parties were involved. If information was sent to the US
for breaking the NSA was involved.
Some judge and Grand Jury should have some really difficult questions to answer.
I'm sure MPAA feel no responsibility.

Dotcom cleared to sue Govt - follow up II
Authored by: Anonymous on Thursday, December 06 2012 @ 06:29 PM EST
The bite: if for example Dotcom was using PGP or GPG (or some other widely
respected system) to encrypt his communications and it was broken then this is
NOT good news for the cryptographic industry. If GCSB is forced to release plain
text of encrypted messages then cats are truly out of bags.
