After the revelations of "Washington Post" on the interception of data between the data centers of the company ...
Eric Schmidt, chairman of Google had already said "shocked". David Drummond, chief counsel of the company, "shocked." Two engineers now have a color reaction: "fuck you" NSA.
The revelations of the Washington Post on the method found by the NSA to intercept user data from Google and Yahoo at the junction between their data centers and the Internet are not entirely a surprise, but they go wrong.
Mike Hearn, an engineer of the "security user accounts" team at Google sends a "giant fuck you" to the NSA. He joined his colleague Brandon Downey, who wrote last week "fuck these guys." The two engineers state that is their personal opinion and not that of the company.
Now encrypted traffic on the line
"I spent 10 years of my life to secure user data," wrote Downey. "I saw armed attack machine by Google DOS (denial of service, ed), worms look for faults, criminal gangs develop malware, totalitarian governments to attack dissidents. But even if I suspected, it makes me terribly sad. " It concludes with a reference to the Lord of the Rings: "It's like coming home after a war against Sauron to discover that the NSA is at the edge of the County cutting down trees."
Mike Hearn, he says "in the absence of effective laws, we did what any good engineer would do: developed more secure software." According to him, the traffic between two data centers is encrypted to complicate the life of the NSA. Finally address his "thanks" to Edward Snowden, former subcontractor NSA behind all the revelations this summer.
