Fuck this article. They buried the fact that they used existing backdoors to get into the system just as if they were MSNBC.

Idk what this site ops link is but it also popped up asking for donations and its the first time ive ever been there. Fuuuuck that.
EFF is a non-profit for tech civil liberties, and December is donation begging season.
I'm not talking about EFF I'm talking about ops link
Ah. Not that you asked, but The Conversation is an interesting non-profit set-up. It’s a media platform for academics & researchers to publish for lay audience consumption. I think they mostly get their money from Universities & grant bodies.
