Day late and a dollar short to worry about BlackPOS. Variants of "Dexter, first documented by Seculert in December 2012, is a Windows-based malware used to steal credit card data from PoS systems."

They have had 3 flavors so far:
1.] Stardust (looks to be an older version, perhaps version 1)
2.] Millenium (note spelling)
3.] Revelation (two observed malware samples; has the capability to use FTP to exfiltrate data)
I can buy any of these programs with a Tor browser, an ICQ client and some Bitcoin at any carder site on line.
A little late to be worried about snippets of code.
The width and breadth of our govt's spying abroad was never in doubt: our abilities are impressive, but not shocking. the shock comes from deciding to turn the lens inward. Exec order 12333 says CIA and NSA look "out" and not domestically at US persons.
It's a slippery slope to start down. Without 4th Amendment protections, we could all be fucked.
Appeals are only brought by someone that objects. Appellate review doesn't happen on it's own. Someone has to bring the case.
If no one knows what they've done, who objects to their rulings?
No one.
Who reviews them? Not the Supreme Court, unless someone objects.
So, no. There is no one reviewing them.
And all of the appointments ore of federal judges, yes. Very conservative pro executive branch. Most likely to expand NSA and government power.
So there is much to fear.
Put lime in it. Wards off scurvy.
You're welcome. And wear 50.
But can it tell them when they're gonna need a bigger boat?
I heard Goldman Sachs still runs Bob on 3/4s of its PCs.
They are all picked by one man - Supreme Court Chief Justice Roberts.

This was meant to be a body of jurists to check the validity of search warrants, but it developed its own body of case law. With no check on its power. None.
The NY Times notes "In making assignments to the court, Chief Justice Roberts, more than his predecessors, has chosen judges with conservative and executive branch backgrounds that critics say make the court more likely to defer to government arguments that domestic spying programs are necessary."

So, yeah, I'd say the FISA judges don't want anyone looking over their shoulders.
It seems they have the key to all the locks as soon as the lock gets built.
I think nothing is safe. Unless you're in a Faraday cage with a computer plugged into a UPS running a virtualized OS and
Fuck it. The NSA can have my data. Jack booted pricks.
You mean like the Yubikey?

Don't forget: you can still encrypt with a keyfile you keep on a microSD card in your wallet. [copy to a USB stick in a lockbox, in case you lose it or get robbed.] Then, they can have your key, they still need the file.
It really whips the llama's ass.
Oh wait. Too late for this comment.
And too late to make any money off Winamp. Is Napster next? Let it die.
