I doubt they have capable programmers working for them. A few years ago the Chaos Computer Club discovered the &#x27;predecessor&#x27; version of this State-Trojan (&quot;Bundestrojaner&quot;). This version was a perfect example what happens when you _want_ to have such a software but your programmers _suck_ at even most basic things (like establishing a working traffic-encryption).<p>Here&#x27;s the video (in German): <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;youtu.be&#x2F;zAV-hTpperU" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;youtu.be&#x2F;zAV-hTpperU</a><p>We shouldn&#x27;t fear their &#x27;capabilities&#x27; but rather their lack of knowledge that&#x27;ll ultimately lead to &#x27;open systems&#x27; which can later be exploited by other criminals.<p>In fact, our State (I&#x27;m from Germany) supports criminal activities by using a crappy software that&#x27;ll crack the basic security measures of Windows.<p>I doubt they have any professional Linux programmers working for them. Working for the State also means earning only a fraction of what you can earn in the free market.<p>I do not fear the State but criminals who&#x27;ll sooner or later exploit holes created by our &quot;security agencies&quot;.
