Reply to comment by SsiSsiSsiSsi in Bahamian regulator says it seized $3.5 billion of FTX crypto assets for ‘safekeeping’ by cloud_coder
Snowden leaks confirmed the NSA was monitoring the data, including all voice calls, of every citizen in the Bahamas. I'm sure they watched it go down.

Because if I trust government to do one thing, it's pump shitloads of money in 3 letter agencies

Yeah, I know when I'm transferring billions of dollars in vulnerable digital assets I always make sure to recite all relevant facts over an unsecured phone call, while using an unsecured web connection to do the transfer.

What I said means that it includes "all data" even encrypted.

Capturing encrypted data ≠ decrypting encrypted data

Again, I understand that but the vast majority of the population does not use encrypted data and those that do, are probably using something that is backdoored by the NSA like Tor nodes and over the counter software like Windows. Not hard to tie things together. Especially when you have a gigantic budget.

iMessage is end to end encrypted, among other popular communication software. While metadata and cellular phone calls may be intercepted, I think that's a far cry away "all data".

This is a gross oversimplification of the security surface of today. Outside cellular phone calls and SMS messaging, the majority of communication happens with VoIP/internet, which is typically encrypted.

It's not hard to tie together because your definitional scopes are too vague IMO.

The Snowden documents showed that the NSA was penetrating Apple. There is an Israeli company called Cellibrite that can break into iOS products.
Lol @ fucking iMessage

That's a lot of faith in Apple.. I don't think you should carte blanche like that

Sure, but it's not a crazy assumption that this government agency uses an encryption that the NSA can't just walk past, especially considering they definitely know the NSA will try to look in on it.

Lol who do you think the Bahamas is getting their encryption from?!

I would assume not the people who openly said they're spying on them.

Don't forget to use emojis regarding approving and disproving the company expense account and you'll fit right in the company culture at FTX.
They'd probably make you CFO.
