Interesting. Where I live it is the Chevy Cruze drivers that top the dipshit driver scale in my opinion.
proxies offered by volunteers and organizations - like the government for example
That's always the issue, isn't it? Who's actually got control of the exit nodes for your proxy and what are they doing with the information.
If malware is used to download FB's internal profile of you using your credentials, it's not access as intended by the user.
Please provide a citation that says malware was used as part of the data collection process.
I cannot believe we actually hire allegedly educated individuals to work in the FBI who can't fucking grasp the concept that Apple didn't make good security because of the FBI. Apple made good security because of the actual evil in the world, and to protect their customers
Please note that those two groups are in no way mutually exclusive.
The only brand of criminals the FBI will catch are the stupid ones.
They're just trying to reduce the competition.
For the latter, Blackberry has promised to turn over the decrypted data upon request by any properly formatted court order.

But it's not your power bill, when you're a hacker.
ding ding ding!
(And, BTW, most everyone used a sequence number in cols 72-80 initially all ending in 00 so we could insert cards when we'd left a few lines of code out).
And get them back in order when you inevitably dropped the entire deck while moving it.
The protection against man-in-the-middle attack is relevant only in a handful of cases. With home Internet access, MitM can more or less only be performed by network operators, who have a lot to lose if they are caught playing these games. It is more of an issue with public access, but still rather minor.
You don't really know how SSL/TLS works do you?
There is no shortage of people with an CS degree. But there is certainly a shortage of people that can actually write good code for non-trivial tasks. Proper CS is hard, you need to know tons of things about very different topics from algorithms and maths, to hardware details and interfaces. In addition problem solving and abstract thinking skills are required. Only a small fraction of people is able to do that and even if people have the talent, but are only into CS for the money, they will likely never learn enough.
And you believe that H1B IT workers brought in from India will satisfy this requirement? If so your experiences must have been vastly different from mine.
What would happen if there was suspected related papers to a case in a safe? Would the safe company have to open it, or was it left to the police to deal with? Or a safety deposit box - do banks have to comply? There's probably some precedent for this out there, would be interesting to see what it is..
LEOs are left to deal with the issue. The thing is that with the devices you mentioned, it's physically possible to deal with them if the accused chooses to not provide the combination for example. In the case of smartphones they can be made so that it is impractical to unencrypt the data.
One possible reason that things aren't going according to plan is that there never was a plan in the first place.
