Gregory's Server@publicvoit many years ago (the 90s) if you were online you assumed everything you said and did was getting scraped by the NSA/ Americans. I don't think much has changed. If you want to keep something private, try to keep it off the web.
It is safe to assume (big) nation states have access to everything, or if not, hoover up everything they can and will have access soon enough.
@roomey Well, I somewhat disagree here.
If you assumed state actors, especially USA state actors you may be right.
However, now it's some hacker group that can share their knowledge with anybody. So the potential group of attackers is now extended to basically anybody who somehow was able to get in touch with the hackers who hacked Microsoft.
That's a totally different game now.
Furthermore, it's not only privacy that's in danger here. It's the whole set of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Information_security#Key_concepts
