If it is so easy for them to crack our ciphers (and the one they use
themselves, btw.), why doesn't Kasperky ask them to crack the key of the
GPCode virus which, according to Kaspersky's assumptions, would keep 15
million modern PCs busy for a year.
And, if it is so easy for them, it is as easy for other governments too,
right? That would mean they use a cipher that's easily crackable by other
governments. Do you really think they do?
