NSA Reportedly Paid

NSA Reportedly Paid Software Encryption $10m To Make Their Software More
VulnerableAt the moment the NSA is getting a lot of flak from people
all over the world, not just US citizens, over its spying program that
was revealed by whistleblower Edward Snowden. Not only did we find out
that the NSA is spying on its own citizens, but now according to the
latest reports, it seems that one of the reasons the NSA is able to
gather data is because they could have been paying off security firms to
insert code into their software that would make it easier for the NSA
to access. This is the latest accusation in which it claims that the NSA
paid off security company, RSA, about $10 million to sell encryption
software that would be vulnerable to surveillance.
While this has been suspected before and mentioned by Snowden, this
report by Reuters would make it the first where an actual company has
been named, along with possible monetary compensation at the same time.
RSA claims that they were unaware of the NSA’s backdoor capabilities,
with the company releasing a statement that says, “RSA always acts in
the best interest of its customers and under no circumstances does RSA
design or enable any back doors in our products […] Decisions about the
features and functionality of RSA products are our own.” It was recently
that the top executives from tech companies such as Apple, Google, and
Yahoo met with President Obama to discuss NSA reforms.
