How the NSA’s Firmware Hacking Works and Why It’s So Unsettling
Presumably some of the people writing these firmwares are reading hacker news.  I'm pretty sad that extremely competent software people are building these things for the government - just following orders so to speak.<p>They must know that it's wrong?  Or do they buy the government arguments about the balance between privacy and security; maybe are they just young, talented and excited to be doing something "legally" that most people would be put in jail for?<p>What to do when governments become untrustworthy actors to such an extent?
