    even if true it makes sense? if the information is that sensitive, you probably shouldn’t be writing it down on hackable infrastructure.

    been seeing some talk about an internet implosion happening sometime relatively soon. might be most security agencies will default to older hardware in the future. I also know next to nothing about this shit, just throwing ideas at the wall
