General News NSA knows when you get sexy with that dildo...

No offense, faustian1, but I've worked with NSA over many years and that's NOT the way it works. As a secret organization that can neither confirm nor deny most of their operational capabilities to the public, they end up as a public scapegoat for a whole host of ridiculous things they neither do nor have the capability of doing. Just saying...

And having said that, Clapper is an a**, but he's the Director of National Intelligence (DNI), not the DIRector of the NSA (DIRNSA).

 

I know it was sarcasm, faustian1. And I only really commented because I get so tired of hearing NSA blamed for stupid things that I, personally, KNOW they don't/can't do... AND they do a h*ll of a lot of really great things to protect the security of this country from overseas threats. Just sorta a pet-peeve of mine.

 

∆ can confirm my mother worked in the NSA and said the same things... she used to bake a whole bunch of pastries for everyone.

 

Yeah right :rolle:

 

Well, if EQUATION group is really NSA, hacking We-Vibe is well within their capabilities... Even if it's probably not worth their time.

And if it isn't, just who else is out there with that kind of wherewithal?

But anyway, NSA is a red herring here. Mysterious government organisations are far smaller danger to J. Average's privacy than a bunch of nerds trying to become next Zuckerbergs by mining the Big Data to sell them more stuff.
