remember Wassenaar? No more crypto blocking now, but malware brokering center

[Erich M.]

Dear all,
For those of you who remember the so called crypto wars and read German
here is a trilogy round the Wassenaar Office in Vienna. Until 2000 NSA,
GCHQ and Co used the Wassenaar treaty to block secure defensive crypto
products. Nowadays the same Wassenaar office serves as the global
brokerage for trojans, backdoors and the likes


Wien ist die globale Exportzentrale für Schadsoftware
