Awesome, I'm glad more of these are getting broken on a daily basis.

Every time one of these gets broken, it massively lowers the value of making the next one, too.

Really? how so?

Correct me if I'm wrong, but these are being broken because of poorly implemented encryption.

I see it differently.

Every time one of these gets broken, it highlights how easily the governmental agencies can get into our personal data.

@Dashrender No most of these are being cracked because of shit programming of the crypto-virus.

Or static keys and lucky brute-forcing.

Which increases the cost of developing the next one and reduces the overall value.
