I don't know about Kolab, but I'm really curious about this sort of attitude. You think the NSA can crack PGP?

At least according to snowden, PGP itself is secure , but client security is still awfull.And i believe anonimity(tor) is probably broken by the NSA.

But the question is: is the NSA willing to expose it's hand to spy on some occupy protestors ?

PGP doesn't help you if the recipient doesn't use it.
Well there was that famous CIA statue that nobody could figure out for a while. Turns out the NSA solved it pretty fast, but they just didn't tell anybody.

And being the codemasters for the most powerful western country, I should hope that they employ people who are able to beat what people do on their free time.

Well, I'd prefer to assume they can.

Back at you... do you think the NSA's entire capabilities to date have been publicised?
