@Treddian - Since the 1980s the USA lost its will to remain secure. We collectively worshipped Wall Street and profits. Practically nobody running a large company in the US is willing to ensure they have robust security of their computer systems. Even the US government does not care enough. To make matters worse, the US uses contractors for secure systems, so (again) the executives of those contracting companies want to boost quarterly profits so they won't spend the big money required to have better security. It is hard to secure an enterprise-scale system and still have it usable by regular employees. The executives don't care. Likewise, government officials don't really care. Who went to jail when the General Services Administration was hacked and all security clearance application data was stolen? ALL people with secret identity require a security clearance and that data was handled by GSA. That means every secret identity possessed by officers, employees, and other agents were all compromised. Nobody went to jail. Nobody was fined as far as I know. Nobody even got fired. So, our systems are too weak, and any and all adversaries (even allies) can hack our systems. It's heartbreaking to watch corruption of indifference and greed weaken this country. The only salve on this wound is that we live in an open society so at least our intentions are already fairly public. Still, secret people, secret capabilities, and secret plans are almost never reliably secret here in the USA.
