Even more outrageous than the domestic spying is the arrogance to think that they can protect the details on backdoors into critical infrastructure. They may have basically created the framework for an Internet-wide kill switch, that likely also affects every aspect of modern communication. Since they don't disclose any of this to other agencies, it's very likely that even parts of the DOD is vulnerable. I hope when [if] the truth is learned it is a lot less prevalent than it sounds, but I'm not optimistic. This is why we need all infrastructure to be implemented using open standards, open hardware designs, and open source software IMHO. I hope Cisco, Juniper, and others respond quickly with updated images for all platforms affected before the details leak.
