Gregory's Server@mattblaze I had a coworker who worked for a company implementing Carnivore decades ago. They had some really low paid Chinese contractors who helped them. The contractors seemed to have more money than you'd expect at their pay level. They also were never in the office during the occasional announced client meetings.
It amazes me how naive government officials sometimes are.
@lyda @mattblaze The Chinese probably recruit students at their universities, and offer them the chance to travel abroad, make money, and win a place in the Chinese power structure if they can successfully get access to something valuable.
I recall when the whole CALEA thing started, the EFF was warning that there was no way to secure it and it would get abused by bad actors.
