Something very similar happens in the movie The Recruit. Must watch for hackers.

I hope the authorities don't go after him for making this public though.

I don't know what it would take for Governments around the world to acknowledge the importance of encryption and anonymity tools. Access to private data cuts both ways, if the Government can do it so can the black hats. Maybe a large scale hack of Government networks devastating the economy will bring them to their senses.

Given the allegations of Russia's involvement in the recent election, whether true or not, I was expecting Governments around the world to think deeply about cyber security issues. Looks like that won't happen anytime soon.
