Latest Snowden Releases: NSA Breaking Encryption, Purposely Weakening Internet Security For Everybody

"This is the nuclear winter of data security"

"It's everything, everything that Cypherpunks ever muttered about over their beer. This is the secret that likely explains why the Obama and Cameron administrations were willing to do almost anything to try to get Snowden, the reporters he leaked to, and the anyone who touched their data. This is the nuclear winter of data security."
