Read this as a reminder.
Speaking about security, privacy and encryption, companies and governments have always made dirty deals (especially in USA).
When companies get acquired, so does the data they collected. That data might be yours (and usually it is).
RSA reportedly accepted $10 million from NSA to make Dual_EC_DRBG — an intentionally weakened random number generator — the default in its widely used BSAFE encryption toolkit.
The only way to stay safe online is to use strong encryption and staying anonymous, of course. But *all* the companies developing such technologies are also at risk. Risk to shutdown by governments or by internal corruption.
Stay safe. Stay anonymous.
Encrypt everything.
