It was a theoretical risk pre-Snowden that PC and neteork security was horrible? No, it was in thd news every day with recommendations from industry and government on how to counter a lot of it. Further, academia was teaching the INFOSEC people about high assurance methods from the old days.<p>Such things were mostly ignored despite being in media, conferences, government certifications... yoh name it. Interestinv enough, Snowden had seeminglh no impact on number of high assurance dsvelopments out there. So, even as bad as it is, people aren&#x27;t doing the things that stop even NSA during evaluations and which they themselves use for most critical stuff.
