This is an insult to this community, and such low-effort shitposting shouldn't be allowed.

On a serious note, this is laughable at best. Of course, there is no limit to security paranoia, and I'm hardly qualified to comment on the affairs of Cybersecurity for better OPSEC, but I wish they would be at least a little bit more informed than average. This journalist seems to have very little idea that the government knows what they are saying anyway
